Pirate and iHeart at same event?

This article indicates that both iHeart Hartford and a Norwalk station going under the name of La Imperial 87.9 will be represented at a major Latino festival in Hartford this weekend. I assume La Imperial is a pirate, as its website is laughably crude and mentions no call letters, but apparently they've fooled the event's organizers.

On May 20th I made a post about picking up a station on 87.9 running Hispanic programming in the Southington-Plainville-Forestville area and that it was really strong near Stop and Shop on Pine Street in Forestville. I doubt that it's the same station though. They would have to be running at a high amount of wattage to reach up here from Norwalk.

P.S. At the end of July I will be traveling through Norwalk on Amtrak. I'll have to check it out.
