"You Fell for It" bit costs Spanish Broadcasting System a $25,000 FCC fine
The phone scams themselves happened nearly five years ago (April 2006) and weren't the subject of complaints to the FCC until October 2010. WZNT, San Juan, Puerto Rico owner SBS says it doesn't have tapes of the incidents, but the FCC relies on "the complainant's reasonably detailed description of what took place." One of the scams involving the "El Vacilon de la Manana" show was a caller "pretending to be an intruder hiding under the bed." The second was personality "Moonshadow" (Raymond Broussard) posing as a loan shark. The FCC finds a violation of its phone-notification rule, and metes out a fine of $25,000 - partly due to other SBS problems of a similar nature. Read the FCC Notice of Apparent Liability here.
