No, it isn't. They are in violation of the Communications Act of 1934, and it's been tested in the courts many times. There are no exceptions for "urban" radio stations.

This is why we need to question everything the Feds do. Under what constitutional authority does the federal government have to shut this station down if:

1. The radio signals never cross a state line and

2. The signal is not interfering with licensed stations that have signals which cross state lines and

3) the station is not operating for the purpose of making money or otherwise engaging in interstate commerce?

Just because something has been upheld by the courts doesn't make it constitutional. The courts have become an arm of the oligarchy and the tools of creeping totalitarianism.

Many, many moons ago when Xzins was a young buck, some from the high school discovered that their dad’s ham radio could hit one end or other of our radio frequencies.

So, they became a rock and roll pirate station. They actually played very good music, were awful DJs, and should have been loved by the Burger Brewing Company, because Burger got non-stop advertising whenever they were on air.

The radio station eventually was closed down by the authorities.

And, no connection whatsoever, but the Burger Brewing company disappeared a decade or so later. I’m sure they needed the free advertising even then.

I'm a ham, and I really have to agree with this. If the individual state wants to regulate it should be free to do so or not.

If a situation does not enter into an area of federal power outlined in Art. 1 Sec. 8 of the Constitution, it's really none of Fedzilla's business.
