Good point, Josh!    At 1400 utc today, none of the three separate broadcasts I'll tune in for music was on the air.  Hmmmm......wonder if they will ever return to shortwave?

I had the same reaction remembering how Ford Motor Company "suspended" their Edsel production "pending further market analysis".   How'd that work out?

“pure DRM’

"Pure" and "DRM" should probably not be used in the same sentence.
