You can’t. Ham radio is by law not a broadcast media. It is meant to be a 2 way non-commercial radio meant for hobby or emergency use.

People are saying you need to spend a fortune. That can be the case- but not necessarily so. You can find perfectly good hf gear on ebay for a couple hundred books.

I am surprised the new Ham equipment is so limited on frequencies. The old stuff could listen to lots of stuff. It is sad that world news has abandoned radio. I guess I have to dust off the scanner and see what is out there. I used to be able to get Baton Rouge TV form 1300 miles away but not Denver which was 50 miles away. The government destroyed AM TV when it forced everything digital.
