The broadcast companies that have filed complaints with the FCC against the two uncoordinated stations operating from Northern Baja California (XEKTT/XEPE 560 and XESS 780) are now attempting to have the U.S. broadcast licenses and construction permit controlled by the man behind these uncoordinated stations revoked. This document is a very long read but fascinating. The FCC has cut this guy a lot of slack regarding past violations of Commission rules by his U.S. stations.
From the CGC Communicator:
KABC AND OTHERS TAKE THE OFFENSIVE AGAINST JAIME BONILLA
KABC-AM Radio, KGO-AM Radio and Owens One Company have collectively launched a legal offensive against Jaime Bonilla Valdez ("Jaime Bonilla"), looking toward the revocation of the U.S. broadcast licenses and construction permit controlled by Mr. Bonilla.
Jaime Bonilla is intimately involved with XEKTT and two other Tijuana-area AM broadcast stations that "have not been coordinated as required under the applicable U.S.-Mexico treaty, [and] are causing interference to an estimated 50 million U.S. listeners who should be receiving interference-free service,"
according to the document.
