I've been told that directly by the FCC, as I know Field Agents in several different offices in the Eastern USA along with being told that by contacts in Washington, DC at the FCC during communication with them on other matters.
For an offending station to be caught, the station being interfered with would have TO PROVE without a doubt what station is causing the problem and they'd have to have COLD, HARD Facts as to exactly how much they are "cheating".. they'd have to go out there and take Field Strength Measurements of the offending signal.... I've never gone out to take Field Strength Measurements for anyone to prove someone is cheating, but I've had broadcaster friends who have..... And, if someone in a market reports a station across town is cheating, the reporting station must be prepared. .as when the FCC comes to town, they sweep ALL stations!
