F.C.C. Will Fine Miami's WXDJ For Prank Call To Castro

Sunday April 25, 2004
From Tom Jicha's column at SunSentinel.com: "Miami radio station WXDJ (FM 95.7) has been informed by the FCC that the government agency intends to fine the Spanish-language station $4,000 for a prank call to the Cuban leader on June 17, 2003. The station's offense: It didn't tell Castro in advance that he was going to be on the radio, as FCC rules dictate."
