Maybe so - but practically, all the religious broadcasters and most of
the rest of the independents are broadcasting to a home audience.
Nothing against religious broadcasters, but their ops make a mockery
of the law, such as it is.

It's like the speed limit. The real speed limit isn't always what's on the
sign, it's what the cops enforce. The real rules for SW broadcasters are
what the FCC enforces. If the FCC wanted to strictly enforce the law or
their own rules, they could start trying to do so right now.

Most of the rules for the SW broadcasters aren't really laws, as in laws
passed by Congress and signed by the President, but FCC regulations. The
FCC gave up trying to enforce their fairness doctrine years ago, and I doubt
they want to open up that political speech can 'o worms again.
