However, access to these collections may require you to be a member. I'm
cc'ing LDC on this, hopefully they'll get back to you directly.

Hi,
my research topic is domain based adaptation of language model. For my work
I hardly need a text corpus
with topic tags.
Broadcast corpus seems to be appropriate. Where can I get it? I don't find
it in LDC catalog. I also write 2
e-mails to Primary Source Media to get some information and I got no answer.
Please, help!
Mirjam
