Feds to investigate WILD for ties to China?

See http://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/china-radio .

I thought WILD's brokerage agreement with CRI was common knowledge, and that the FCC was OK with it. I also knew CRI was on the air in a number of other U.S. cities, presumably via similar brokerage agreements.

In fact, didn't I read just the other day that the FCC wants to loosen restrictions on foreign ownership of U.S. radio and TV stations?

I told ya so! Radio One made a deal with the Devil in return for airing Communist shit on their station! AM 1090 sold out the Black community in return for cozying up with the Beijing Regime!

Wow, I did not know China can be involved in a radio station. I mean they can mention China in the news, but China helping an american radio station? Weird, and it sorta hurts America's reputation for American Radio...

I remember hearing CRI programming on some of the public radio stations, but I never knew about the extent of Chinese government involvement, as described in the Reuters article...
