Last year, Sanchez's show had been the subject of an investigation by Nielsen into allegations of ratings tampering.

Allegations have been raised that members of the PPM audience panel had been contacted by people connected to Sanchez's show and encouraged to listen to his program, a violation Nielsen's practices.

A Nielsen representative said the company had no comment on its investigation.

A KLAX programming executive in December confirmed that Sanchez's program was taken off the air because of an investigation.  Sanchez has been off-air in LA since early November.
