Re: [IRCA] 1st PIRATE Station on SONYULTRALITE..1710 LUBAVITCHER RADIO Brooklyn, NY

["Paul B. Walker, Jr." <walkerbroadcasting@xxxxxxxxx>]

Unless a complaint is made by a member of the media and that member or their
station(s) are being directly affected by the pirate.. in most cases, the
FCC won't touch it.

They (the FCC) doesnt like to touch ethnic pirates either,. for fear of
claims of racial/ethnic discrimination.
