I can't really comprehend how a private shortwave station would be held
to the same law, as it (smith mundt act) is designed to prevent government
run propaganda (as we can see it worked flawlessly ;-/), wouldn't private
owned stations be excluded from this?
Regular AM stations were worried about competition from shortwave
stations with unlimited coverage. I suspect they may have been
especially worried that NBC and CBS would build their own shortwave
stations and then yank their affiliations from their local stations.
