(If you can’t see why FCC licensing is a legitimate function of government, I don’t think you can be helped.)

Why national and not state?

Take Boston as an example. TV and radio stations there broadcast over almost all of New England. It’s interstate commerce, the real kind, not the contrived kind.

Isn't it amazing how many Freepers with conservative sounding handles have this knee jerk reaction that everything that can be regulated needs to be regulated by the federal government. The Feds can't do much of anything efficiently or competently. IMO if a signal is non commercial and is not intended to cross state lines and does not interfere with a licensed radio station's intended frequency range, then the Feds have no jurisdiction to shut it down.

The only regulatory authorization for this shutdown was the commerce clause. Liberals have used that clause to justify all manner of federal tyranny and unless we draw a line in the sand somewhere (like Bunkerville Nevada) they are going to continue to strangle our liberty at every turn.
