I love this story. Limited to Prewar Music, Bulgarian Station Thrives by Boryana Dzhambazov. Reads like something from Lawrence Durrell's Antrobus Complete.

Because of a recent copyright dispute, Bulgarian National Radio, the public broadcaster for the country, has been limited to airing music recorded before 1946. And so far, their listeners seem to have no problem with it.

The station had a 20 percent increase in listenership in January, the first month in which the change was in effect, over December’s numbers, said Bulgarian National Radio’s chief, Alexander Velev. He cited an audience report conducted by the consumer research company Ipsos.
