Then again, your government doesn't prohibit domestic broadcasting.

BBC World Service can also be heard in the UK 24 hours on the national BBC
DAB multiplex, on analogue and digital cable radio and on both the Freeview
and Sky TV digital TV platforms.

The latest audience figures I have show that 1,273,000 adults (15+) in the
UK listen each week, a 3% reach, average listener hours are 4.7 giving it a
0.6% audience share.
