There are no 'government owned' radio stations. At least not the kind you're thinking of ... nothing that you can tune in on AM, FM, or TV. Almost all of those are businesses, owned by private individuals or companies, for the purpose of making money by selling advertising and delivering your ears to the buyers. (Whatever they may say or imply, that's the reason they're there.) The exceptions are: 'Public' and 'community' radio and TV stations, supported by philanthropic foundations, individual contributions, and a little bit of business money from the companies that get a quicky commercial announcement at the beginning and end of the show. These are not primarily money-makers; so without my preaching, it's up to your imagination to figure out why they bother to do what they do.

This is due to the faster travel speed of P-waves compared to S-waves.
