 Perhaps, but I doubt it.

 Oh, you betcha !

 In *some* cases.
 This is not necessarily true in *all* cases.

 The offending station is responsible for curing the problem.

 Apparently not !

 If the Commission has no complaints, then it's not officially happening.
 If an owner sees no loss of revenue, or potential revenue,
 then either it's not happening, or it doesn't matter.

 I ( and I'm sure others ) do know owners who won't hesitate to commit
 several million dollars to a "resolution" ( which could easily involve the
 purchase of a congress-critter ) should such a "problem" become manifest.
