870 and 1040 on 'after hours'

[TXDXer]

I have noted both KFJZ-870 and KGGR-1040 have been on well past their licensed operating times at night.

870 (a daytimer) is the worst offender going all-night on occasion.

1040 does have Pre-Sunrise authorization in the morning during March through September only and Post-Sunset authorization during May, June and July only as late as 8:45 PM. But I've heard them as late as 2 to 3 in the morning, assuming they didn't hit the "OFF" switch at all.

Calls to both stations have been unsuccessful.

Also, I've called WWL in New Orleans about it, but have only been able to leave a message on an answering machine when transferred to 'engineering'.

Does anyone have the address and/or phone number of the Dallas office of the FCC?

Thanks.

My first thought: they're on "Football power/pattern" then I realized, oops, wrong time of year...

AND...

1) wrong language

2) wrong type of station/programming

neither of these stations do football.

A few years ago the local daytimer on 850 was broadcasting at night and blocking out KOA. I found the complaint page on the FCC website and logged a complaint. It must've worked because it didn't happen again.

I remember a certain station authorized for 500w-d 12w-n that ran 500w until 10 or 11 at night when W**therford High School games were being played, and claimed it was legal under FCC rules for emergency operation.

Roo's football broadcasts are an emergency!

It's funny but true...If the FCC wanted to pick up a wad of cash, simply cruse two lane highways across Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, etc on any Friday night in the fall.
There are so many daytime only and Day Night direction AM stations that "Forget" to make power/pattern change or in the instance of day-timers "sunset sign off"...The FCC could clean up with all the additional forfeitures.

About 3 months ago I caught 1110 KVTT around 11:45 pm blasting into East Texas. I never heard a Top of the hour ID either, just segueing Asian-Indian music.
