I wish all radio stations provided digital streams. I live in the Ozarks, and hilly terrain is terrible for radio. I hate that 'cause I have about twenty tube radios and I love them, but in my location, you'd need a 500 foot high antenna mast to get above all the hills. So all my table radios can only receive broadcasts from the nearest stations.
The problem with the idea of capturing all radio stations on a digital streaming platform is that not all stations release their content on that format. And their broadcasts are a mixture of content that is copyrighted by the station and material not owned by the station but licensed for them to broadcast. So a third-party would have some licensing difficulties to be able to legally create a digital stream.
