This particular episode of the television program titled “Murder, She Wrote” starring Angela Lansbury consists of either an actual older shortwave receiver or a reproduction of an older receiver in a wooden cabinet; and one of the character’s mother (the publisher of the small town newspaper) who eventually gets arrested at the end of this particular episode, listens to a Shortwave Radio Station from Germany. The screenwriters state that the Shortwave Radio Station is from Berlin in a reunified Germany. However, the reality has always been that the Nauen-the oldest Shortwave Transmitter Site, Julich, and Werchatal are the Shortwave Transmitter Sites that would transmit programming such as the Classical Music and live concerts that this person was listening to.
However, contrary to what the screenwriters wrote; the Police band is not on the Shortwave spectrum. It is on the extended FM band near where the Ship-To-Shore Marine band is located.
