The Spanish government has ordered its new telecom agency to stop the widespread illegal radio activities in the country, reports Media Network.
According to a report by commercial radio organization AERC there are up to 3 000 pirate radio stations in Spain. In some areas they outnumber the legal radio stations two-to-one. For several years, AERC has urged the Spanish government to act on the issue.
The new telecom agency will launch on July 1, giving pirates an extra few months to go legal. The agency will first do a survey of Spanish radio, as a preparation for a clean up of the FM band and closure of illegal stations.
