Some questions about radio/TV

[marcin_adam]

I have couple of questions as in the title:
1. Are there any benefits of having more than one of each stations?
2. Is the broadcast range limited or global?
3. We produce a large quantity of electronics and it is very available in shops but the rate of spread among the population is surprisingly low. Is there any way to rise it up? What factors affect it?

From my many hours of experience it appears that is:
1. No
2. Global (?)
3. Higher education and considerable time lapse in the game.

In spite of everything, I have the impression that it is a very random algorithm.

3: pretty sure it's bugged. do check total number of radio/TV in people stats and have a quick look in the residential buildings, at the start I reached like 50% having radio/TV, now I am at 25%, my guess is when people die also his electronic devices is gone, but not replaced since the house say everyone have a radio/TV

PS: computers, really? in 1965 50% of people have a computer lol

1. In my opinion: yes. More radio stations can broadcast in same time a different program each (eg propaganda, culture, sport), which increases the "efficiency" of influencing citizens.

indeed, in theory, not sure this mechanic is implemented yet, but there are % of influence depending on amount of workers, so probably yes, you will have advantage having more than one

I would like to add that we need broadcast towers, since my radio stations and tv station don't seem to reach nearly all potential listeners and it appears to be geographically based (located in smaller area = smaller audience, even if radio/tv ownership is high). This would be a cool building plus. Multiple stations which can be themed + broadcast towers would be great.

1. You can set different focus for Radion and TV station and that is a huge benefit.
2. The map has 20x20 km so it would be silly if it would be limited.
3. People with higher education tend to get more advanced electronics.
