The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) on June 22 ordered a Mexico-based radio station with ties to a pro-Beijing media outlet to stop beaming its broadcasts of Chinese-language programming into the United States.
The FCC denied a license to AM radio station XEWW 690, based in Baja California Norte, Mexico, to broadcast programs into the United States due to its failure to disclose ties to an affiliate of Phoenix TV, a pro-Beijing media outlet. The radio station is owned by H&H Group USA, a New York firm with links to Phoenix TV. The latter is a Hong Kong-based broadcaster that is owned by a former Chinese military officer and has close ties to Beijing officials.
