Something's gotta pay the bills -- the Christian radio content is what
they prefer to air, but they sell airtime as well.
It's not unlike the paid programming in any other form of broadcast media.
When I worked with James Crystal Radio up the road in Pompano Beach,
all of the stations had paid programming blocks. WLVJ-AM, the
Christian station in the cluster, also has paid programming and also
hosts Ken Held's Doo-Wop Shop on Sundays. I dunno where Held's show is
produced but it comes in live via ISDN. When I was board op on Sunday
mornings, I made it a habit to make sure that the last guy doing a
live program in WLVJ's studio left the faders set right -- I never
understood why the guy before never got complaints if his peak level
was like -15dBfs, but if Ken's show was in the mud, he would call my
cell phone and tell me to fix it before his listeners started to get
mad. :D
I never did get to see the transmitter sites used there... One of them
is GIGANTIC and is not too far down the road from WYFR, I guess.

I gather you listen frequently enough to be able to make a sweeping
generationalization like that
As much as I hate to admit it, I'm afraid I do. I ran across WWCR when
I moved to Nashville back in '91 and they nearly blew my S-meter out of
my radio. Turns out, I lived only about 5 miles from their transmitter
site. Back then, it was pure diatribe each evening about UFO cover-ups,
UN concentration camps, black helicopters, and mind-control beams, etc.
The militia stuff was later cited as something that McVeigh listened to
and if he actually believed that garbage, I can certainly understand
what pushed him to the edge. All I know is that after Oklahoma City,
the most egregious programming calling for violent overthrow of the US
government disappeared, never to return.
At least the stuff today isn't as racist as the stuff of old, nor is it
quite as paranoid. I listen to it today (nearly every night) as a kind
of catharsis; no matter how bad my day is, it's never gotten as bad as
these guys say it is. As far as Alex Jones, to borrow a line from an
old Dirty Harry movie, he's a legend in his own mind.
Perhaps you get your info from the Daily Kos!!
Sorry, haven't a clue what you're talking about. Either way, it proves
that the time I spent in the military ensuring the right to free speech
worked. I just hope it was worth it.
What I can't figure out is the Christian Radio connection to all the
rest of the stuff they transmit. To me it gives Christians a bad name.
So, I find WWCR laughable. If you find it informative, so be it. I
listen to it, so you may as well do the same.
Anyway, I don't mind this discussion, but I don't think it sticks well
to the intent of this reflector. As such, I won't follow up with any
more. I'd rather stick to identifying the weird things that aren't known.
Have a good one...

It's WWCR in Nashville, TN. When they aren't transmitting Christian
programming, they sell their air time to a bunch of wacko, conspiracy
theory kooks. It's about half a notch above the Militia/White
Supremacists from the mid-90's that Timothy McVeigh used to listen to.
I gather you listen frequently enough to be able to make a sweeping
generationalization like that I listen on occasion and find some of the
programming quite interesting...Even the bombastic Alex Jones who I dont
always agree with is often ahead of the curve in terms of social awareness,
for good or bad he is even drifting into the main stream.
Perhaps you get your info from the Daily Kos!!
