      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.       ---        þ SLMR 2.1a þ Typo Tom Strkes Again        * Origin: Fidonet Since 1991 bbs.docsnetservices.com (1:123/140)    |
