@vfrmedia @FediThing The BBC world service radio (not Satellite TV, which is commercial) is funded by UK foreign office and had massive cuts under Tories and not restored by Labour. Radio Canada, Switzerland, Germany Sweden etc all seem to be gone from SW. Plenty on satellite, but it has multiple vulnerabilities and isn't easily portable or battery powered. Some of my portable all band AM/FM radios will go go for months and use D cells. All have about x10 run time than a DAB radio. Late 1990s.
