Re "On my walks I listen to streams on my smart phone rather than AM or even FM radio.": I'm illiterate as far as new technology goes. Is it that you can access the internet on a smart phone without having to rely on a local wi-fi connexion? So you use the phone company's regular signal? If so, doesn't that cost per minute?
Over here when they dropped the analogue signal for TV transmissions and we all went digital it meant my hand-held mini-TV receiver went in the garbage can and there was no equivalent portable digital TV to replace it. Re "I love all the big corporations losing their asses on their radio and TV stations.": Bring it on. With me it's not so much the profits that alarm me, it's the monopoly on the "narrative" we get fed by the MSM.
