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.

The ban on domestic shortwave dates back to the 30's, and was based on the
FCC belief that the country was best served by the 1-A and 1-B clear channel
stations (you are right... it has to do with clear channels) and that
domestic short wave was not needed and would be an impediment to the growth
of the clear channel service.

That's crap and you know it. Some are already suspecting that you're an
idiot. I would think you would try not to prove them right.

To the liberal left it sounds like crap, since they promote
censorship, and have no concept of free airwaves.

You sound like a troll, calling me an "idiot" What have I written here
that is wrong? It is true that the feds are afraid of someone using
shortwave to spread beyond-the-fringe politics to a mass audience
around the country.

And also, they want Clear Channel to run American airwaves and only
promote "governmentally approved" politics.

But of course... your one of those "government is so nice and does
everything in the favor of the people.. awwwwwwww"

Wake up. The government would never allow a WBCQ type station to get
on regualr AM/FM radio, this is why you only find these silly neo-con
"buy my book buy my tape type" You have some of these neo-cons who one
day say "Bush is god" then another day "Bush sucks" These guys aren't
really doing anything but spewing crap. But.. this is acceptable by
the government. Anyone talking the realities would be quickly called a
racist and booted off the air.

Is this limited to WBCQ? The Alex Jones Show, The Power Hour and
Brother Stair all buy time on local time brokered stations. Bo Gritz
used to, but he seems to be out of broadcasting.

Anybody with half a brain would look up facts. I guess you're at about the
quarter level.

What's the evidence of that?

Will the government force NPR to sell out to Clear Channel?

Frank Dresser

He has no evidence. It is a product of his mind. It has always been
government policy to prevent any one, or only a few, entities from
controlling the majority of the media. That includes newspapers, TV and
radio. The reason for that was to ensure variety of opinion. We had a case
here locally a year of so ago where, one of the two largest newspapers in
the area wanted to buy the other. They had to get government permission to
do so. They were denied. If it had been two bicycle factories, the
government would have no say about it. The deregulation and buy up of radio
stations is due to greed helped along by a president (passed) that had the
motto "Morals? We don't need no stinkin' morals".
