I hadn't thought about it that way, thanks for sharing that perspective. I agree, but isn't that what NPR was supposed to be? Or am I confusing it with PBS?

Not really, both are more like traditional cable channels, that are limited to specific programming and amounts of time.

I'm imagining more like modern streaming services where a any item from a massive catalog can be streamed / delivered to anyone. So any work could.be put into it and it would be fre to use, but the author would get a cut each time it was used.
