I should have noted that all of this is free of charge. I can't imagine that many people in Haiti could afford a subscription TV service, and would do well even to have a Roku unit. Or it may be intended for Haitians in disaspora in the US.

Had no idea you can pick up North Korean Content on C-Band as seen here. It’s that by the time we see this we look at AP or Reuters carrying the feed of North Korea when there’s a major event with Kim Jong Un.
It's aural epherema nowadays. Worthless and ready to go to the dumpster...but not for former K-Mart sales clerk Mark Davis in Illinois...thank goodness he saved department store history with those background music tapes. They bring back a lot of memories for those who worked in those stores and/or the families who shopped there.
Not particularly into the '70s-era old-school elevator music Muzak. But whenever I hear it, it feels like I'm shopping in a 1970s-era Safeway with 29-cent soup on the shelves. Cashiers with hair in a bun and spectacles...and of course, half of the store smoking Pall Malls at the same time.

It's for the large Haitian diaspora not just in the US, but all over the world
Thank you for spelling "diaspora" correctly. I didn't catch that until now, and it's too late for me to edit.
It's a very efficient way to get TV from all over the French-speaking world free of charge. I have to imagine that the French networks are otherwise either geofenced or only available outside France through various subscription TV sources. They even carry one or two of the French Canadian terrestrial networks.
I use it to improve my French passively. The other day, a news story referred to France being "hors-jeu" regarding some international conflict, I guessed that this meant "out of the game", and sure enough, that's what it means. That's the kind of idiomatic French you won't learn in college classes.
Are his digital transfers available online? I see three short videos by someone with that name giving overviews of a K-mart in-store audio cassette collection. But I don't see any untelescoped transfers by him like other people have uploaded.
I think you're confusing Muzak™ with the radio formats known as "Beautiful Music" and "Easy Listening." Muzak™ is neither of those. Most musicians at the time Muzak™ was prolific actively refused to even call it music.
Muzak is basically a corporate slurry genre that was designed by psychologists to have calming, semi-hypnotic effects on listeners doing repetitive labor, trapped inside confined spaces like airplanes and elevators, stuck on hold, or wandering the isles of grocery stores. The company actually forbade its use outside psychological applications like that, as they apparently didn't want overexposure dulling its "psychological and physiological effects" on listeners in the intended environments.
That said, I can't imagine anyone back then ever wanting to use it outside its intended scope -- like by programming a radio station with it. Unlike actual music (which, yes, includes Beautiful Music and Easy Listening), Muzak is designed to avoid moving the spirit or creating mental excitement and engagement. It's basically crafted to "just lay there," like pastel patterned wallpaper for your ear canals.
Here's a sample of Muzak as packaged for Delta Airlines:

Almost four months now, and that promised "new format" still isn't anywhere to be heard.
Not confusing at all. This to me is good music.
The only thing wrong is the same four of five songs over and over.WBT Charlotte immediately comes to mind

that's the only thing wrong? the limited playlist on the redirect?
