As a fan of SF in Australia, without cable, life sucks.
Ever since ST:tNG, Trek and Babylon 5 have been screened at 11pm or so, with wildly unpredictable timeslots that are pre-empted by the latest egg-and-spoon championships live from Belgium. I missed seeing Babylon 5: Crusade during its very brief run on Oz TV because there were no ads, no fanfare of any kind, and it was shown at the arse-end of the night's television.
*sigh*
...and being a fan of They Might Be Giants and Peter Gabriel, I have long since given up on the idea of ever hearing my favourite songs on the radio.
Oh, if there are any PG fans reading by any chance, I highly recommend Afro Celt Sound System's Volume 3: Further in Time, featuring the kick-arse song When You]re Falling with guest vocals from Peter. I bought it a few months back without hearing either the song itself or anything at all from ACSS, and it was a great buy. Their music is sort of electronic + African rhythms + strong Celtic influences + guest vocalists... it's quite unique.
