In 1996, almost everyone in the UK was still on dialup. Real videos typically resulted in significant latency for a not great quality image. As such, streaming wasn't obvious at that time, at least as a ubiquitous access medium.

Okay, let's say that high audio quality (mp3 128 kbps) audio streaming wasn't obvious until the year 2000. Surely after year 2000 all of the rights must have been worked out and all of the radio shows were properly stored and served for public on-demand consumption? Nope.
