Yes, indeed. I have noticed that as well. A huge amount of radio is now on FTA. Galaxy 19 (97W) has over 70 radio channels. I remember a few years ago when they only had around 20 channels.
I have a customer who is blind (God bless him), he bought a motorized system from just to enjoy the radio and music channels. When he was at my showroom and I was demonstrating the system for him, he had a sharp sense of hearing and sound discrimination. He would tell what instrument was playing and so forth.
He visited me a couple of times with his friend. I haven't heard from him in 2 years. I am sure he loves this increase in radio channels.
