In my town there was a guy who was absolutely obliterating 88.5 as well as 88.3 and 88.9 broadcasting some Hispanic hip-hop with some grossly overpowered local transmitter. He overpowered the stations on the entire east side of town. It took over 6 months before it was shut down. I think the FCC penalties are so harsh because their enforcement arm is so small that they can only go after the most blatant offenders. Not that I would want to risk fate given how harsh those penalties are.
