Actually the station that theoretically make things happen very fast 
would be CFRB. Their complaint would go to the State Department 
first. From there it would be handled as an international incident. 
Unfortunately since their signal does legally exist in the US, WHIN 
would have to cause interference in Canada in an area not covered by 
the mutual interference agreement they have with WINS.

The point is that anyone (in range as WFGW seems to be) authorized 
= > 250 W night power can complain about a co-channel cheater to the 
FCC if they want to because they have legal standing as an injured 
party.  It doesn't matter what kind of programming they do - only 
that they are on the frequency and protected from co-channel 
interference by their license.

WINS should complain informally, but as Robert says, they have bigger 
fish to fry and just don't care. The
point is that there is little or no IX incoming to their primary 
coverage in NYC.
