A border blaster is a broadcast station that, though not licensed as an external service, is, in practice, used to target another country. The term "border blaster" is of North American origin, and usually associated with Mexican AM stations whose broadcast areas cover large parts of the United States, and United States border AM stations covering large parts of Canada. Conceptually similar European broadcasting included some pre-World War II broadcasting towards the United Kingdom, "radio périphérique" around France and the U.S. government-funded station Radio Free Europe, targeting eastern Europe.

  • Border blasters waren radiostations die in Mexico waren gevestigd vlak over de grens met de Verenigde Staten, om zo een zo groot mogelijk gebied in de Verenigde Staten te kunnen bereiken. Voor veel Amerikaanse radiostations was het aantrekkelijk vanuit Mexico uit te zenden, omdat het verkrijgen van een zendvergunning daar veel eenvoudiger en goedkoper was. Door de stations pal aan de grens te vestigen konden zij alsnog een groot Amerikaans publiek bereiken. Volgens de Mexicaanse wetgeving moesten zij wel elke zondagavond het Mexicaanse volkslied uitzenden. (nl)
