Most of these are being "offered" in a way not intended or desired by the broadcaster

So let's link it to a site that can ddos sites, and probably has employees of media companies in it!

I'm all for sharing, but I was hoping this bit of awesome joy would not be linked here.

I wonder if OP heard about it from the NA podcast or from someone who does listen to it. It was mentioned last week Thursday to the tune of a million people, so, I guess "yes".

  • Oh the irony of wanting such a site to exist but to keep it a bit of a secret.

    There are a zillion streams on this site, so unclear if enough additional traffic will be going to any particular one of them to be noticed by the sources. Certainly some number of media company employees will be aware of it due to it hitting HN, but I have my doubts that there are many media employees who read HN who didn't already know these things existed and/or would do anything about it

    • the odd thing, i suppose, is i probably won't use the site as i don't watch broadcast TV at all; but just for research, testing / using / tuning speech to text (translate and transcribe,) and comparing coverage of news stories it is invaluable. It would be awful if it had to shut down because it was linked on a VC forum where people often defend IP.
