Movin Not Airing Legal I.D.'s

As far as I can tell, they have not aired one legal i.d. since they dumped country.

If you listen to their top of the hour i.d. it says "KZLA L.A.-Orange County".

I've monitored many hours over the last few days and they never mention KZLA Los Angeles anywhere within any hour.

Esta es kah zeta el ah, El Pueblo de Nuestra la Reina de Los Angeles de Pornicula, California.

And now, the inevitable David Eduardo correction:

So if they just say "L.A." and not "Los Angeles" and/or if they include or say "Orange County" that doesn't meet the rules? I'm confused. Lots of stations say "L.A. - Orange County". JILL-FM says "KLIT-FM Fountain Valley - Los Angeles" Is that legal because they say the words not the abbreviation "L.A."?

When you are wrong, you will be corrected.

The name, today, in its full extension, is "Pueblo de Nuestra Señora Reina de Los Angeles."

The original name was "Pueblo de Nuestra Senora Reina de los Angeles de Porciuncula" but lasted only a brief period while the mission and surrounding village were very small.

L.A. is not their city of license. It isn't a legal city name at all. It's like saying 'Vegas' or 'Frisco'.

KRTH Los Angeles, KHHT-FM Los Angeles, KOST Los Angeles, KDAY Redondo Beach-Los Angeles. All legal as the city of license immediately follows their legal call sign a minimum of ONCE per hour near the top of the hour.

KZLA L.A.-Orange County is not a legal i.d.. And as of 11 AM this morning, they still have not legally identified themselves since last Thursday.
 
The FCC's station identification requirements can be found in Section 73.1201 of the FCC's Rules.

Station IDs must be made hourly, as close to the hour as possible, at a natural break.

The station ID must consist of the station's call letters, immediately followed by the community or communities listed on the station(s) license. The name of the licensee, the channel of operation, and the frequency may be inserted between the call sign and the community but nothing else may be inserted there.

The station may also list additional communities in its ID, so long as the actual community of license is mentioned first.
 
Actually Mr. Eduardo....The name for the City of Los Angeles is still technically
"El Pueblo de Nuestra Señora La Reina De Los Angeles del Río de Porciuncúla". It has never legally been changed, it was shortened because it was too long to say. So it is simply known as Los Angeles.

The City of Los Angeles charter says the name is "City of Los Angeles" so there is a de facto change.

The name Los Angeles is Spanish for The Angels. There is much more to this name, however. On Wednesday, August 2, 1769, Father Juan Crespi, a Franciscan priest accompanying the first European land expedition through California, led by Captain Fernando Rivera Y Moncado, described in his journal a "beautiful river from the northwest" located at "34 degrees 10 minutes." They named the river Nuestra Señora de los Angeles de la Porciúncula. In the Franciscan calendar, August 2 was the day of the celebration of the feast of the Perdono at the tiny Assisi chapel of St. Francis of Assisi. Early in St. Francis’ life, the Benedictines had given him this tiny chapel for his use near Assisi. The chapel, ruined and in need of repair, was located on what the Italians called a porziuncola or "very small parcel of land." Painted on the wall behind the altar was a fresco of the Virgin Mary surrounded by angels. Now contained within a Basilica, the chapel was named Saint Mary of the Angels at the Little Portion. The newly discovered "beautiful river" was named in honor of this celebration and this chapel. In 1781, a new settlement was established along that river. The settlement came to be known as El Pueblo de Nuestra Señora la Reina de los Angeles de Porciúncula or The Town of Our Lady the Queen of Angels of the Little Portion although its official name was simply El Pueblo de la Reina de Los Angeles.
 
I'm pretty sure the FCC has better things to do than fretting that KZLA is saying "L.A." instead of "Los Angeles" in its legal ID. Of course, this is the FCC that had plenty of time to fret about Janet Jackson's boob, so who knows.

I think you need to read through the FCC database to see all the fines. I saw dozens for this year alone. Remember, our government needs money.

I can't recall any Los Angeles station ever on a continuing basis not having a proper legal id.
 
Technically, since the official name for L.A. is still Nuestros Zapatos de Pornicula or whatever, shouldn't the SEC from Mexico be in charge of this investigation?

Not until Aztlan is achieved. Looking at what Los Angeles has turned into maybe it already has.

Yeah, the FCC is busy busting all the pirate radio stations illegally broadcasting throughout Brooklyn and Queens in New York City and in the Miami area of Florida... NOT!

Actually, what is the FCC doing if not busting the pirates or catching non-legal station i.d.'s?

You got that from a website less authoritative than Wikipedia.

Whatelse can you say David??? Keep showing us what a racist arse you are, while shooting down sources you have used to support your arguments in previous posts.

What next??? :'(
 
Could the nice folks at Radio-Info.com please tell me what any of this thread has to do with the lack of legal ID's by the nice folks running Emmis Radio in Los Angeles? Where are the moderators? Are you missing them yet? This whole diatribe by these posters is totaly off topic and needs to be eliminated or moved to the "of the air" board!
