Hmmmmm...
You cannot receive an AM, FM, NTSC or ATSC "broadcast"without an
appropriate receiver.
These services are there for anyone who wants to invest in a receiver.
This is equally true for any service that uses a broadcast technique
to deliver a service, even cable and DBS. You just need a receiver
and a way to connect the RF feed to the receiver.
Apparently some people believe that she ain't a broad if you have to pay her...
