 ==== The Early Years (2625–2626) ====
-The launch of Weber Broadcasting Services coincided with the construction of the shortwave communication network. Klaus Weber envisioned WBS as more than just a means of communication—he saw it as a tool to unite settlers and preserve their cultural identity in the new world.
+The launch of Weber Broadcasting Services coincided with the construction of the shortwave communication network. Klaus Weber envisioned WBS as more than just a means of communication — he saw it as a tool to unite settlers and preserve their cultural identity in the new world.
 By late 2626, with the establishment of the main relay stations and successful deployment of the Shortwave Communication Devices (SWRWC), WBS began daily broadcasts to the settlements of New Kourou, [[Hope|Hope]], [[Morningstar|Morningstar]], and [[Firetown|Firetown]]. Each evening from 8 PM to midnight, settlers could tune in for news, entertainment, and discussions about life on the new planet, fostering a shared experience across distant communities.
-==== Role During the Great War (2628–2630) ====
+==== Studio-Master Partnership (2627 – 2630) ====
+In early 2628, WBS struck an exclusive deal with the [[new_kourou_shellac_corporation_nksc|New Kourou Shellac Corporation (NKSC)]]: every Friday live-music broadcast was cut in parallel onto a numbered “Studio Master” [[shellac_records|fungus-shellac disk]]. Couriers rushed these pressings — together with NKSC’s hand-cranked tabletop players — to taverns across all settlements. Owning “this week’s groove” became a status symbol and forged a shared playlist between settlements.
+==== Role During the Great War (2629–2631) ====
 During the [[Great War|Great War]], Weber Broadcasting Services pivoted from entertainment to war-time propaganda and emergency broadcasting. It became a vital resource for morale-building and coordination, transmitting real-time updates on the war effort, tactical advice, and government-mandated propaganda encouraging unity and resistance against external threats.
