FCC Escalates ‘La Tropica’ Pirate Radio Fight In Connecticut

 


By Cameron Coats -April 27, 20252

The FCC is stepping up its enforcement efforts against alleged pirate broadcaster Wilfredo Ayala, issuing a new warning aimed at the landlord of a Hartford property tied to unauthorized radio transmissions of “La Tropica Radio.”

On Friday, Enforcement Bureau Region One Regional Director David Dombrowski sent a Notice of Illegal Pirate Radio Broadcasting to the owner of a commercial building at 30 Arbor Street in Hartford, where unlicensed broadcasts on 94.5 MHz have been traced. Although the notice does not name Ayala directly, the signal is believed to be associated with “La Tropica Radio,” a station linked to him under FCC action earlier this year.
