And that is all a matter of European Union cross-border visions and ideology.
None of those radio stations would venture into this would it not be for 
millions in funding from the EU Interregional Funds. And only officially 
state funded radio stations are allowed, commercial stations need not to 
bother, they won't get one new Euro cent.
This also applies for TV, though here we're talking about even more EU money.
