Reminds me of a funny incident back in the 1950s, when US AM broadcast
stations were still required to devote a certain amount of air time to
public service. They met the requirement by broadcasting church services
on Sunday mornings.

One Sunday morning I was introduced to a young Italian student who had
just arrived in town the night before. The first thing he said was,
"What is this with radio in your country? All I hear are priests!"
