The destruction of Broadcasting services

Dear Sparks,

since a couple of months I switched back the ham radio hobby into BCL returing at the time I was a young guy in front of an old tube receiver and tuning from Radio Poland to BBC and from VOA to Radio Moscow…long time is passed and on SW are still alive a great number of broadcastings insiting with their programs in all languages according to the hours of day or night, the large part of these radio stations comes from Asia, Arabian Countries and Est Europe. According to my heards I have seen the large part of programs are broadcasted in English language which is the  language of the World and with pleasure I listen to very interesting News with others points of view we have here in Europe and, I think, in all Western Countries where the use of internet and various cellular phones applications permits to be tuned on the best “web radio” we have but with minds blinded by the best music programs or “REGIME News” and there is not much space to obtain a radio programming without filters of Government or Press lobbies interests with the serious risks to loose the proper relation with the reality in all her aspects.

Tonight surfing the web with the objective to see what there is behind my impression I found an interesting book entitled: “The Decline and Fall of Public Service Broadcasting” by Michael Tracey, in the description you can find here it is explained the real troubles of the closure of BC radio stations assimilating the phenomena to the real deep crisis of liberal democracy: https://global.oup.com/academic/product/the-decline-and-fall-of-public-service-broadcasting-9780198159254?cc=it&lang=en&#

The video below would be a great show of a recent antenna demolition (a VOA antenna park) but is the clip a great show or a big fail???…Who can say? Since long time I see the TV or Radio Networks I follow do not broadcast really what I must to know but only what they want to say me?? So I rewind my life back to the age I was a BCL…
