For example, if you take a random section on the Russian Podcasting website, then 43 out of 46 podcasts belong to abandoned channels. Two more are trial issues (which are also unlikely to turn into permanent transmissions). And this is still a bright picture, because the content of some other section has long been covered with cobwebs.

The next issue of the transfer appear late, and then disappear altogether.
