Actually, all of those were COPYRIGHT by "The Freedom Foundation, Valley Forge, PA" and were once REQUIRED by the FCC. When REAGAN was in office with his five commissioners, the requirement was dropped and Freedom Foundation no longer licenced them, even to the TV stations which wished to play them. :(When I was Assistant Chief engineer at WFTI-TV54 in Poughkeepsie, we had been playing them at our 1AM signoff every night and when we lit back up at 6AM back in 1981. We were *ordered* to remove it from our schedule and even though the station was owned by a dummy corporation set up by Jim and Tammy Bakker (HOW American can you GET?) we were ordered to just do a signoff and that was that since the COPYRIGHT to the National Anthem was pwn3d. :( But there you is ... no "liberal conspiracy" there ... it was Reagan's FCC and Freedom Foundation demanding to get PAID. :( |
