Two Unidentified Signals on 87.7 Heard in Greenville, SC

During my lunch hour today, I was sitting in my car flipping through the stations, and on 87.7 I heard two different signals alternating with each other.

Both of them were in Spanish. One sounded like a regular FM station (in full-blown FM stereo), while the other one sounded like TV audio. The latter was definitely a channel 6 TV station; not sure if the other was the same thing operating like a radio station, or if it was solely an FM signal.

While both were intelligible, I did not hear anything that gave me a clue as to where each signal was coming from, as I only know a limited amount of Spanish. A safe guess would be that the TV station originated from Mexico or Cuba, although somewhere in Central or South America may be a possibility based on some of the posts I've read on here lately. As for the signal that was in full FM stereo- what are the laws regarding using frequencies below 88.1 as FM signals in most Latin American countries?

Neither signal stayed long enough for me to hear any identifying material. I tuned in again on my way home from work this evening, and heard the TV signal a couple of times along the way, but it only faded in and out and didn't stay for long each time.
 
You could have gotten a Canadian channel 6, and either WNYZ-LP from New York, WLFM-LP from Chicago, WDCN-LP from DC, or WPOT from Boston
 
If your Spanish 87.7 was in stereo, you might have caught WEYS-LP in Miami FL. They are Almavision Radio, Christian radio in Spanish.

Miami is kinda close to Greenville for E-skip, but it's a possibility. Were you getting any other Florida stations, or Cuba or Bahamas?

It could be Mexico on TV6. Did you try the regular FM dial (87.9-107.9) and see if any E-skip was around?
