San Antonio-Area Zombie Translator Tries Move-In for Forth Time

R

Ryan Williams

Centro Cristiano de Vida Eterna, who is currently fighting allegations of misrepresentation to the FCC on a Houston-area translator, is hoping the forth time is a charm for San Antonio-area translator, K245DE in Boerne. Previously, CCVE tried to move the translator, which was first granted near Kerrville in 2013, closer to San Antonio in early 2020 using Siga's KTMR as its primary station. Siga objected stating that they never gave permission to rebroadcast KTMR. CCVE then tried using KDRY. KDRY objected with the FCC stating that they also never gave permission and had the application dismissed. CCVE then tried a third time in October of 2020 using CMG's KONO-FM as the primary, CMG then objected stating again that permission was not given.

Now, CCVE is trying yet again, this time amending the application to use Univision's KROM-FM as the primary station. I wonder what happens next....

That should be "fourth" instead of "forth". I'm blaming autocorrect. It originally was written as third, but as I was looking through the past applications while writing the post, I realized it was actually the fourth attempt, and made the hasty edits and addition.
 
I'm sure they'll find someone to allow it eventually... LOL
 
That's just it. They are not asking anybody, just slapping some call letters in the space and hoping the station attached to the call letters never finds out. Then they run their own programming instead. It's been done by a few groups before.
 
Sounds like an opportunity to buy an FM translator cheap! They will eventually anger the wrong group, or the ‘right’ group (FCC) enough times they’ll get slapped properly. Actions do have consequences.
