This is indeed the case. A number of broadcasters affected by the 5-year
X-band sunset date, including Multicultural Broadcasting, which owns WJCC
and WNMA 1210, have a petition pending before the FCC asking for
reconsideration of the rule, on the grounds that it's not doing what it
was meant to accomplish (interference reduction on the original AM band.)

As part of the petition, they filed a request for an immediate stay of
enforcement of the five-year rule, and for STAs to allow stations that
went silent to return to the air while the FCC considers the petition.

WJCC is apparently the second such station to be allowed back on the air -
KYDZ 1180 in Nebraska is back on as well. Several stations that were
supposed to go dark soon - WLMV 1480 in Madison comes to mind - will
probably be allowed to continue operating for now as well.

Because these operations are under STA and not formally licensed, they
won't be reflected well in the CDBS database. Calls that have been deleted
(like WJCC) will remain listed as DWJCC. Expect confusion as a result...
