One argument FCC can use to defend the "different rules" thing is that
broadcasting works to a published schedule and the shows are rated in advance.
If you tune in Howard Stern on the radio or the Victoria's Secret Xmas special
on TV, you have a pretty good idea of what you'll hear/see. But on ham radio
there's no schedule, no program guide and no advance ratings.


Used to be, if you were in LA and tuned in 147.435, one could expect to
hear similar
material. Not that I agree with the existence of such on a ham band,
but it was there.
