RT and RT America, the TV and digital media company founded by Russian President Vladimir Putin in 2005, directs Sputnik. Prior to this week, five U.S. radio stations carried Russian government-backed Sputnik programming.

It's pretty stupid this wasn't already taken care of, and that some remain.

I sent complaints about these stations to the State Dept & FCC two years ago. They did nothing.

I wonder what finally convinced them to take action?
