105.7 the walrus call letters

[mteran5]

The walrus call letters changed from XHBCE to XHPRS, to match 1090 XEPRS sort of.

I guess Mexican AM stations always start with "XE" while Mexican FM always start with "XH". I noticed on the webstream the ID shows XPRS-FM

It's been that way for sometime: XTRA is XETRA (FM and when it was AM). I'm sure there other examples, but I'm looking at the typo on a Dos Equis bottle of beer.

Maybe the main reason why 105.7 has XH instead of XE, because it is not owned by the same licence holder of 1090.

Unlike both XETRA AM and FM, when they were both owned by the same mexican licence holder.

Although I could be wrong.

I heard the call letters in Spanish. It's XHPRS (except pronounced in Spanish).

XETRA is now XEWW, but XETRA-FM retains its calls.

Not quite true, but pretty close. Mexican FMs which began as simulcasts or STLs (FM originally was used in most of Latin America for transmitter links) were also XE prefixed. Independent FMs going back to the 60's were XH, and at some point in the 70's even co-owned FMs started having the H instead of the E.

The transmitter is in Mexico, it's not licensed by the FCC.

Mexican stations that do appear on the FCC site appear because the Mexican government has officially notified the FCC of their existence. So that the FCC knows not to authorize a U.S. station that would interfere.

Changes in call letters don't affect a station's ability to cause or receive interference. So they aren't relevant to the Mexican listings in the FCC DB, and they don't seem to make it into the DB very quickly.

Same thing with Canada: call letters listed for Canadian stations in the FCC DB are often VERY wrong! (and listings of U.S. stations in the Canadian DB are often equally wrong)
