The IFT Plenary resolves to revoke the concession to a radio station
- The XECJU-AM station carried out unauthorized change of frequency and location of transmitter equipment
Following the corresponding monitoring and inspection processes, arising from a complaint by Mexican Airspace Navigation Services (Servicios a la Navegación en el Espacio Aéreo Mexicano, SENEAM) due to harmful interference, and as a result of the evidence of the administrative procedure for revocation, the Plenary of the Federal Telecommunications Institute (Instituto Federal de Telecomunicaciones, IFT) decided to revoke the broadcasting concession title granted for operation of the radio station with the XECJU-AM sign, and with authorization to operate the 95.9 MHz frequency in Jarretaderas, Nayarit. The referred concessionaire performed the unauthorized change of frequency from 95.9 MHz to 96.7 MHz on the FM band, as well as the change of location of transmitter equipment in Jarretaderas, Nayarit to Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco, for which with 6 votes in favor and one against by Commissioner Adolfo Cuevas, the Plenary determined that the performance of the concessionaire is within grounds for revocation of its title. The decision is based on the provisions set in article 31 parts I and II of the Federal Radio and Television Law. Last August 7th, the concessionaire was notified that its location is within the grounds of revocation mentioned above, for which the administrative procedure for revocation began which ends the resolution adopted today.
