   RW> TW> While Ch 5, 7, 8 ,9, 10, and 11 are identified by their Cal sign in   
   RW> TW> hte years i havew bene watching SD6 I have never seen any call sign.   
      
   RW>I recall hearing XETV identify it's broadcast, over the air.   
      
   That was when they were an analog station.   
   The Digital sub channel, SD6, on their carrier does not use their Call   
   Sign. And as a subcarrier I suspect it is not required by the Mexican   
   rules.   
   Now that I am thinking about it the Sub Channel, MeTV, on Digital   
   Channel 8 do not identify by the Station call sign either   
      
   Border Blasters   
      
   RW>"As was the case between the 1930's and the 1970's, some border blaster   
   RW>stations in areas near larger American border cities such as San Diego are   
   RW>leased out by American broadcasting companies and air English-language   
   RW>programming targeting American audiences. The American side leases the   
   RW>station from the Mexican station owners/licence holders and feeds   
   RW>programming from their American studios to the Mexican transmitters via   
   RW>satellite."   
      
   In the 50's I used to listen to a Mexican Border Blaster across the   
   border from Western Texas. Do Not recal the X cal sign though.
