“It should have been shutdown in 2007.
Exactly. “
It shouldn’t have been shut down at all unless they were infringing on some commercial broadcaster’s right to bandwith. The government doesn’t own the airwaves, it regulates them to so that they can be used productively without everyone stepping on everyone else’s toes. There were no rules at all concerning lower power stations until they were promulgated by the FCC under their regulatory authority. There’s no need for them to start shutting down stations and confiscating equipment unless the operators were interfering with some other station’s signal.
