Still more serious (and being a journalist working for radio): the
concept of substituting a wireless, free-to-get, real-time "broad"cast
by point-to-point, relayed, paying transmission seems utter nonsense.
This would be quite another thing in getting a *past* (on-air)
transmission through the wire from the archives; that could be an
enormously valuable thing. "The living memory" so to say. But even
those who have the means offer you at best some poor one-digit years
backward search. One public(!) broadcaster (the biggest German, and
they could afford better) trashes everything on their servers older
than three years, and search for outsiders then gets *very* expensive.
(Sure they have stored every second of the last fifty years, of their
first one, now five channels. But perhaps better not to make it too
easy to find out what was said then?)
