    not because it has some sort of inherent right to make that choice

    The US legal system works on “all powers not explicitly stated to belong to [governing body] are not granted” so, yes, the radio station does have an inherent right to make that choice. The FCC doesn’t allow them that right. Rather, they don’t forbid them from it, which is completely different.

      No, that’s not true. The FCC explicitly has the power (as delegated by Congress) to regulate interstate commerce, which includes radio spectrum since radio waves cross state lines.

        Let it go grue, PP_BOY doesn’t even like black folks, as evidenced by his history. Hell, his hatred for my people is probably part of the reason he commented in the first place.

          Ignorant people are upvoting his lies, and that needs to be corrected.
