 How Things Work - Radio
In WWII, the Japanese were apparently very successful at locating US forces by detecting the 455 kHz intermediate frequency oscillators in their radios--a problem that quickly led to a redesign of the radios to prevent that 455 kHz signal from leaking onto the antennas (thanks to Tom Skinner for pointing this out to me).

 Japanese media - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Japanese AM is the same as in many Western nations (530 to 1,730 kHz), but their FM is from 76 to 90 MHz, resulting not only in a very limited number of possible stations, but that any FM radio receivers from outside Japan are all but useless.
In this regard, the people working in mass media are not generally regarded as liberals although the word "journalist" linguistically implies its liberal tendencies (Ms Yoshiko Sakurai considers herself as "journalist" in her webpage http://blog.yoshiko-sakurai.jp/profile/).
Perhaps, it stems from (1) that Japanese people respects the government (especially, legislative and executive branches) passively, and lack the concept to check the government by journalists, and (2) that the values of Japanese people are not so much liberal nor progressive at national level taking into the country sides of Japan.
