Travel and Hyperspace
Media waves typically travel around the universe at FTL speeds using hyperspace. Waves are sent through hyperspace where they are interpreted by receptors, which allow the travel of text, images and sounds to be picked up. In many cases, this allows media to travel across galaxies, though it is sometimes limited.

Of course, in many cases, local media is travelled through different means. While the most common and generally accepted intergalactic forms of media travel through hyperspace signals, local media can often opt to send its own signals around alternative ways. For instance, in the, media signals are often transferred using The Grid, and in other galaxies, tiny wormholes are used to transfer data. In some cases, these local media outlets opt not to receive intergalactic signals, though this is not always true.
