Help with radio stations

[Skurgebane]

I'm trying to complete the Elective Democracy quest to build 5 radio stations within 20 turns, I easily built 2 in my two cities, but cannot figure out why I can't buy one in ANY of my 13 towns, I don't believe it says anything about only being able to be built in cities?
At first I thought it was just hidden and I had to fulfill a certain requirement, but there is literally nothing that is hidden in the buildings, projects, or wonders tabs, only unity.
Second, I thought it was one of those hidden pre-requisites like in order to build a Galley, you need to research Sailing, which is stated; But you also need to build a Fishing Quay as well. But I just converted a town that I could not buy a radio station in into a city and I was able to queue it into production or just outright buy it... So maybe they can only be built in cities?

If so, that kind of ruins my < 3 City bonuses, and regardless - my towns weren't being improved with production in mind, so it will take more than 20 turns to build the radio stations which is kind of a bummer too.

Thoughts?

You can only buy warehouses and a few more kind of buildings (like Temple) in Towns.

Just turn some of them into Cities and purchase those Radio Stations in there.

Appreciate the quick response, I was doing some Googling while I waited for responses and saw that 2:13 is a pretty abysmal city to town ratio, especially for Modern Age, so I guess I'll do that - flip some towns to cities and try and save up 5k gold.

Yeah, basically, buildings don't say "can only be built in cities", they say "can be purchased in towns". If there's no special mention, it's cities only.
