BTW, AFAIK unlike the Communist countries, the US has never jammed foreign
broadcasts such as Radio Moscow or Havana, Cuba. However, there's a first time
for everything, especially if it isn't *called* jamming. --Mike K.

Or you can just listen to an internet (re)broadcast, possibly even with
better sound quality. Face it, in terms of access-to-information, radio
waves are no longer the premiere source. Of course, it would be relatively
easy for the US government (almost any government) to cut off particular
sites, but until they start doing that, claims of overt or unobtrusive
censorship are fairly off the wall.
