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.

They still are. The requirement is so small, however,
that they usually do it at 3:00 AM on a weeknight.

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!"
