=== The Radio Act of 1927 ===
The [[Radio Act of 1927]] gave the [[Federal Radio Commission]] the power to grant and deny licenses, and to assign frequencies and power levels for each licensee. In 1928 it began requiring licenses of existing stations and setting controls on who could broadcast from where on what frequency and at what power. Some stations could not obtain a license and ceased operations. In section 29, the Radio Act of 1927 mentioned that the content of the broadcast should be freely present, and the government cannot interfere with this.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Morrison|first=Sharon L.|title=Radio Act of 1927|url=https://www.mtsu.edu/first-amendment/article/1091/radio-act-of-1927|access-date=2020-05-30|website=www.mtsu.edu|language=en}}</ref>
