Lets start at the end. I would be ashamed to be working for a company such as Univision that promotes how to break the laws of the United States of America. Univision should lose ALL of their licenses for aiding and abetting illegal aliens (which in some cases is a felony). The day is coming when much of the audience you serve (illegal aliens) will be asked to leave the United States. Those that don't will be physically removed. Hopefully you'll lose your job along with the loss of much of your audience. You are the one who should be ashamed of yourself.
OK, prove that Univision promotes breaking of any laws. You can not, because that statement is untrue, defamatory and an outright lie.
You should be aware that anyone... citizen, resident, tourist, etc., within the borders of the US enjoys certain protections granted by the Constitution and by the legal system based on our constitution.
In any case, since illegal immigrants are not generally diarykeepers, the audience served by ALL LA and US Spanish language or Hispanic targeted stations is the legal resident and citizen community.
You're an idiot, David. Cox has well served Hispanics and will in San Antonio with a better sounding hip-hop station than the poorly programmed Beat in San Antonio. One example of Cox's serving Hispanics with a hip-hop format is already in Orlando.
Cox' Orlando station is serving a community that is predominathly Puerto Rican, which is nothing like the Mexican American population of San Antonio. And the SA station is all of two weeks old, so whether it is serving anyone is still quite subject to the passage of time. It is a little hard to judge a station that is still running "10 thousand in a row" with one that has been the established #1 for five years... neither you nor I know how this is going to play out, so you are just guessing with absolutely no knowledge of the market, either (the market you dismissed as an insignificant small market, by the way).
KKBT was never owned by Clear Channel. Your dates are way off. Clear Channel NEVER operated AMFM stations in Early 2000. Per the FCC what? Your imagination FCC? The merger of AMFM and Clear Channel did not close until August 30, 2000 and Clear Channel had NO control until that date as there was no LMA or JSA of the AMFM stations such as KKBT. But Clear Channel never assumed control of KKBT. Radio One started their purchase of KKBT and 11 other stations from Clear Channel and AMFM on March 13, 2000. It took over KKBT just hours before the closing of the AMFM and Clear Channel merger on August 29, 2000.
This is more complex than you think.
02/97 Chancellor sells to AMFM
10/99 AMFM sells to Clear Channel via merger pending approval
In the interim, in 03/2000 AMFM sells KKDB to Radio One to comply with concentration of control.
So the deal was part of and approved by Clear, as part of the decision on wht to divest to comply with FCC rules and DOJ scrutiny. In other words, Clear made a decision on which of the LA assets it wanted to retain, and what it would dispose of and, as part of the "deal in porogress" the properties it did not wish to retain were spun off. So Clear was very much involved even if the licences were never in the name of Clear Channel.
In fact, most Clear Channel licences are not in the name of Clear Channel today... they are in the name of licensee corporations which, in turn, are owned by CCU. The name on the licence is not the critical issue... it is who owns the licensee.
The switch from 92.3 to 100.3 (KCMG going from 100.3 to 92.3 and KKBT going from 92.3 to 100.3) under AMFM was made on June 30, 2000. Clear Channel did not own or control either station at that time.

But Clear was calling the shots as to disposition of assets to make the deal pass regulatory scrutiny.
And Clear Channel NEVER has given Radio One any kind of permission to use 'The Beat' in Los Angeles. Period. So stop your nonsense when you have absolutely no idea what you are posting.
Yes they have. If they did not have an agreement, there would be abandonment of the mark, and CCU could not defend its use. The principles of marks involve usage, registration and defense of the mark. If you fail on any, you can lose your brand.
