LPFM Licensees beware. This is what the FCC says about LPFM and full power FM's airing the same programming.

Look at these two stations in Santa Ana, CA KSXA-LP (Latino Center for Prevention & Action in Health & Welfare) and KRQL-LP. (Centro Cultural de Mexico en el Condado de Orange) that are in a timeshare with the same transmitter site. Mostly 3 AM to 3 PM and then KRQL gets 3 PM - 3 AM.The both run Radio Santa Ana programming that is from KRQL's licensee name. There is no mention of a radio station on the KSXA's licensees web page.
 
I know community radio station WAIF in Cincinnati had to share time with the Joint Vocational Technical School's WJVS for many years. WJVS turned in their license and WAIF was able to go fulltime.

Another point of discussion. Commercial radio has to turn it's back on us old farts because advertisers don't want us anymore. So it's LPFM's and small NCE's that try to serve us. Take them away and seniors are forced to listen to streaming too. Is that in the public interest?

But here's the unfortunate part; many seniors, some of them examples on this site, willfully won't or cannot contribute to non-commercial or LPFM's. That includes going out of their way to help by doing business with local or national advertisers who sponsor their favorite radio programming. You see it here all the time, an attitude that somehow because I listen, that's enough support.
Of course, those who have worked in the business, let alone owned stations, know that just being a listener isn't enough.
 
Local LPFM was just playing the stream of a Miami NonComm 24/7.
They've got local programming on now but I still hear the Miami stream on occasion.
 
KEXA 93.9 King City (Class B1) and KXWS-LP 97.3 Watsonville carry a "double ID" at the ToH as "Radio Vision Salinas". Indeed, the two stations carry the same telephone and e-mail address per FCC paperwork. This looks like a clear violation.

Defenders of LPFM. Anyone want to go after these folks?

A quick check of both entities at the California Secretary of State shows Iglesia de Reino is at JESUS ABREGO 34 SHADY OAKS DRIVE, WATSONVILLE, CA 95076 but is Suspended - FTB. Seems Inspiration Media Network LLC has the same FTB status and has not filed paperwork in two years. Same people. Their attorney is Dan J Alpert, THE LAW OFFICE OF DAN J. ALPERT.

(Although one telephone number is different.)
 
I noticed KWOH-LP Biola-Fresno running Radio Nueva Vida networked content. However, at the TOH they run their own ID ; I suspect they're not a 24x7 affiliate of the Spanish-language Christian network.
 
The FCC doesn't care if an LPFM rebroadcasts a network as long as it's noncommercial. An LPFM can also rebroadcast another LPFM.
But, each LPFM better have it's own EAS unit. Otherwise it's being used as a translator and the FCC does not like that.

Even if both LPFMs are in the same county?
 
I wonder if any of the timeshares in Los Angeles on 99.1 have separate EAS units? KZUT/KFEP/KLDB-LP? Strangest station!. Most of the time they play "whale" sounds.
