But, someone noticed and screamed to the bankruptcy judge who has ordered the station assets seized and a receiver appointed for the license and assets.Regional Mexican “La Poderosa 1360” WHNR,has been turned over to a receiver after a Florida court issued a $48,020 judgment against Martin Santos. Broker George Reed will oversee the station while he searches for a buyer.Santos had filed to sell WHNR to Florida Spanish Communications last November for $1,000 but after first approving the transfer, the FCC last week reversed course after learning of the receivership.
