FCC Actions
After ordering H&H USA’s Chinese “URadio 690” XEWW Rosarito MX to cease operations and dismissing their STA and applications in June because they failed to include the Chinese government owned Phoenix Radio US as a , H&H’s subsidiary GLR Southern California has reapplied for permission to operate XEWW adding Phoenix as an operator on the basis that they were “unaware of any formal complaints being submitted to the FCC in the time that this station has been programmed in Mandarin Chinese about the content of these broadcasts”. The station, which never stopped broadcasting despite the previous FCC order, also filed an STA to continue those broadcasts while the application is pending.
The FCC continues to reach consent decrees with operators over missing documents from their online political files. Each of the groups have agreed to admission of liability and compliance plans:
