Yeah they really needed to do a follow up question on that one didn’t they?
Can only really speculate here… maybe something to do with the Emergency Alert System? But I dunno. Could just be FCC bureaucracy reasons.
It would set a horrible precedent.
I don’t know the exact frequency specifics, but I know the FCC is super particular about any broadcast over a certain power on most wavelengths.
I imagine this is yet another instance where “mostly works” is in fact somewhat problematic in one way or another.
