International Broadcasting Stations of the United States

Authorized by FCC as of January 1, 1947

Note: Under arrangements carrying over from the war, these U. S. shortwave stations are leased by the licensees to the Government and are programmed by the International Broadcast Division, Office of International Information and Cultural Affairs, Department of State. (Under the 1947 fiscal year Appropriations Act, private licensees are permitted to program their stations, without Sate Dept. supervision, 25% of the broadcast time, but as of Jan. 1, 1947, the State Dept. was still programming all stations full time by agreement with the licensees.)
