    Heiner Stahl discusses examining broadcasting archives through the sonic dimension of broadcasts. Stahl argues that listening to archival audio provides an additional perspective on sources and can reveal meanings not evident from text alone. Broadcasting archives hold value in refilling programming, publishing historical recordings, and licensing content. However, contradictory policies have affected the transfer of audiovisual assets to archives. Considering sound design, dramaturgy, cultural debates, and audience reception can provide deeper insights beyond what written archives reveal alone.

    Conclusion

    An auditory perspective on the history of


    broadcast media is yet rarely choosen in
    research designs
    Sound mirrors the conditions of negotiating
    narratives of political and cultural debates
    Sound is an additional dimension to
    examine processes of cultural transfers
    proficiently
    Linking the auditory dimension of media to
    other sources provides a deeper insight into
    what audiences actually do media content
