Blown to Bits : Ch.8,9Broadcast Regulation - correct answer ✔The FCC gained its authority over
what is said on radio and TV broadcasts when there were fewer ways to
distribute information. The public airways
were scarce, went the theory, and the government had to make sure they
were used in the public interest. As radio and television became universally

communications in which the frequency of the transmitted signal is
