It reminds me on nightly travels through the world (literally) with #JohnPeel s Music on #BFBS.

@mattblaze I would rather love some international radio with extras.

Maybe it's me missing #BFBS Germany on FM or just me thinking that there is need fir more media diversity…

#WhatsMissing: #english-languaged, civilian [non-forces - related, unlike #BFBS & #AFN] radio in #Germany [if not actoss the entire #EU] on USW with some #noncommercial / #independent #artists and #talk being broadcasted.

Espechally since COSMO by @wdr really got cut down and
@dw_innovation / #DWnews is not permitted to target #domestic audience (and merely doesn't #geoblock access because many of it's viewers and listeners use #VPN|s terminating in Germany].

Echt schade dass #BFBS nicht mehr [flächendeckend] per #UKW empfangbar ist...

Immerhin gibt's noch nen #Livestream online...

Die sind der Grund dass #1LIVE existiert und deren Talente [samt derer von #AFN] haben den #ÖRR mit modernisiert!

Und ja ich würde sagen dass BFBS für mein Hörverständnis auf #Englisch verantwortlich ist!

License plates offer endless color & designs, but the "blackout" style is what state after state residents seem to want. #BFBS

Utah's black and white license plate is now the state's most popular, and it's bringing in millions

According to a newly released review by the Office of the Utah State Auditor, the Historic Utah plate has generated $4.5 million in revenue.

Interesting. Never realized "blackout" license plates were a trend, but makes sense. #BFBS @uniwatch

North Dakota has approved blackout license plates: When will they be available?

Gov. Kelly Armstrong signed legislation April 30 approving the license plates, which feature a solid black background with white letters and numbers

People asked me why I don't "just start a talk radio thingy"?

Simple: Good #TalkRadio requires a lot of professional staff in the background ranging from people who pre-filter call-ins to journalists that sort the queue to literal psychologists to be able to take care wirh people in a personal crisis.

One does not simply get a #PhoneNumber and just Yolo it...

Cuz you want this to not only sound good, but enshure you don't end up with drugged up or suicidal people on air ( but also you don't want them to be without proper care & debriefing! )...

Not because one doesn't want to have those topics, but because having said people being taken care if by professionals is important!

I guess that having #Domian as a "baseline" is ambitious but to me it is the only way I'd do call-ins of that kind!

Speaking from experience: I did volunteer for moderation "duty" on #Twitch in the past upon expressed invitation by said streamer and that at least had a way higher barrier of entry and proper moderation tools for the #Chat - unless one wants to severely #TimeShift a format, that doesn't work with live voice and video!

Still, with the reduction of #BFBS Germany's transmission power to very low wattage, and #AFN being US-centric af as well as #DW cancelling radio coverage and never being allowed to cover the #German "domestic market", there needs to be more #independent #media from #Germany that isn't German languaged and actually covers stuff.

#English is just the 1st foreign languauge I learned to a.degree that I can converse fluently in.

Maybe one day this can get started.

@spucky ich schon, nur halt nicht für @tagesschau , @ZDF & Co. sondern für @dw_innovation / #DWnews, #BFBS & #AFN!

Ganz ehrlich, wenn ich das nötige Kleingeld hätte würde ich gern nen englischsprachigen #Sender (inkl. #UKW) aufmachen und nur @creativecommons - lizensierte #Mukke spielen weil #GEMA ist ein value-removing Durchlauferhitzer!
