Blaze:
A Washington, D.C., radio station took $4.4 million from the Chinese Communist Party over the past two years to broadcast propaganda, according to a report from the Washington Free Beacon.
The radio station WCRW-AM aired content from China Global Television Network and several talk shows that portray China in a positive light as part of a deal its parent company, Potomac Media Group, struck with the CCP. In filings with the Justice Department submitted last Thursday, the Virginia-based Potomac Media Group disclosed its contract with the Communist Party’s International Communication Planning Bureau.
Under the Foreign Agents Registration Act, U.S. law requires that anyone inside the United States seeking to influence American policy or public opinion on behalf of a foreign government or group must register with the Department of Justice.
The Free Beacon reported that Potomac Media’s filing details how the International Communication Planning Bureau, an arm of China’s propaganda ministry, is permitted to review broadcasts and verify programming aired on WCRW. Potomac Media is contractually obligated to provide the Planning Bureau with reports on audience reach, feedback, and “evaluation from international organizations.” more

Yeah, so? Then what? Nothing.
So how much are the Chicoms giving the Biden administration to spew their propaganda?
As long as they announce that fact daily, any knucklehead who listens is aware of the BS factor.
When the BS is reported as fact is where the FCC should pull their license to broadcast.
Are the Bidens registered?
Nice looking Falcon III Manpack radio, made in Rochester NY. They won’t sell those for commercial use, too much embedded crypto – but if you can find a PRC-138 you’ll be golden for HF.
Whether they’re getting foreign cash or not, how about PBS?
Or CBS, ABC, NBC, etc ad nauseum? Bias much?
Profits over patriotism.
So When will ABC, CBS, CNN & ALL THE NBC permutations be charged?!
NPR is jealous. All those years THEY’VE been doing Communist propaganda, and no one ever paid THEM for it…
WRCW is licensed to Leesburg, 37 miles from Washington DC. While it is 50,000 watts during the day, it is only 250 watts at night. The signal probably doesn’t even reach DC at night.
I doubt it is a station that anyone pays any attention to. We probably had more listeners here back when we had a music format. https://iotwreport.com/deejay-radiomattm/

…the player doesn’t work. 🙁 You’ll have to record a new one for us.
SNS, it took up resources so BFH probably removed the file. I understand that. I remember working on the file to get it as minuscule as possible.
It was was fun listening to everyone’s selections. We should do it again. That was almost four years ago.
Guaranteed…
1. The station is owned & operated by democrats.
2. Not a goddamn motherfucking thing is gonna happen to them.
It isn’t just radio stations in DC sucking China’s money dick.
