The Radio Act of 1927 was a significant piece of legislation in the United States that aimed to regulate radio broadcasting. It established the Federal Radio Commission (FRC), which was responsible for managing the airwaves and ensuring that radio frequencies were used efficiently. The act sought to eliminate interference between radio stations and promote the development of a reliable broadcasting system. Additionally, the act introduced the concept of a broadcasting license, requiring stations to operate in the public interest. This legislation laid the groundwork for future regulations in the broadcasting industry, ultimately leading to the Communications Act of 1934, which further expanded federal oversight.
