Last time I heard a Mexican-originated U.S. programmed signal, I do

You can thank Ed Noble (a personal friend of then President Jose Lopez
Portillo) for eliminating (for a while) the shortwave-delivered
Mexican Hour in favor of Tourism PSAs for the border stations.


Yet, according to David, the Mexican National Hour is once again heard
even on English-language U.S. targetting stations like XETRA. I'm
surprised that the government of Vicente Fox hasn't eased up on it.
