Wow...I think this is one thing that liberals and conservatives can actually
agree upon:

Your theory is just plain dumb.

Not only does this argument assume that U.S. listeners wouldn't hear
shortwave broadcasts from overseas (which would obviously be unregulated by
the USA's FCC), but the policy was put in place by the FCC literally decades
before the radio conglomerate "Clear Channel Communications" was
incorporated.

Duh!

The reason for the ban on domestic broadcasting in the United States
is that the feds tend to be afraid of the attributes of shortwave and
the ability to transmit across an entire nation. They want Clear
Channel to own all the domestic broadcasters so they can broadcast
what they "approve of"

Even though WBCQ isn't transmitting "domestically," it's still mostly
listened to by people in the US.
