They answer to the White House every bit as much as that radio station is Alex Jones'.

I'm generally curious.

Do you even bother to read any of the links you post or do you just run here with click bait that might somewhat support whatever it is you are crying about from day to day?

Is it a Trump appointee who runs the FCC?

You should know the answer to this back when you were touting net neutrality you kept his photo as your avatar.

So Trump’s appointee Ajit Pai just independently shut down Alex’s radio station? Pai doesn’t answer to and serve at the leisure of El Trumpo?

Is it? It seems pretty straightforward and the thread title is still misleading hours later. Go figure.

This wasn't Alex Jones station. This was an unauthorized pirate operating a broadcast transmitter without a license.
The FCC's job is to shut these down in order to avoid interference to licensed broadcasters.
FCC inpsectors are able to locate pirates with their own direction-finding monitoring vans,
but mostly they rely on complaints from licensed broadcasters and the public.

You shouldn’t need a license to broadcast. First Amendment.

I hear you. But it is a multifaceted issue.

Should you need a permit to put up a billboard? To run google fiber thru town? To broadcast porn on abc during family hours?

Imagine if multiple unregulated stations were allowed to broadcast on the same frequency. They'd deliberately jam or overdrive their competition. It would not be good for consumers. Same thing for broadcast TV.
