Problem with KNLE in Austin

Here's the deal, I heard Sherland the guy who owns KNLE freaking out in 2014 on the air because, no support for his station.
In 2015 I feel sorry for the guy and call him. He warns me to watch out for the crazy evil media industry, basically to summarize it Sherland made it seem like the media is the devil, that's apparently what he tells everyone else. He was depressed because there aren't Christian record labels anymore like in the 80's. So I tell him good luck with the station and send in a donation, saying hopefully he gets his station back on it's feet. But he was really crying and stuff on the phone like it's the end of the world because of the atheist media industry.

I've heard him crying on the air several times since then, begging and pleading with listeners for support. It's my belief that his station's building is in bad shape though, because in 2016 I heard advertisements for pest control and landscaping services, and portable storage boxes,. Those are strange businesses to help a station LOL Cool Box Portable Storage and Captain Hook Austin offer support for KNLE? https://captainhookaustin.com/

Just a couple weeks ago I heard the guy on KNLE crying ON THE RADIO harder than ever, begging for listeners to send in money... It's as though he himself is possessed, against the professionals, and crying because no one helps him. If you ask me the Candle should have been shut down a long time ago. Why the devil is Sherland Priest still running it if it's been on it's last legs so long? Besides, the audio hasn't ever sounded like a professional engineer set it up, last I heard it on it was too loud.
 
Be careful of Sherland, he was making noises like the devil to me on the phone, and I think it was when I started talking in favor of the music industry instead of his station, KNLE.
Who's possessed? Music Media or Sherland?
If Mr. KNLE is possessed, someone give him an eksôrˌsizəm, Jesus Christ, it's probably been in the guy for a long time and harder to drive out now.

If it's the music industry who's possessed, how about we all tell them to leave us alone!

Pretty sure now the Round Rock man and anything that comes around him too often is possessed, needs to be freaking shut off the air so he doesn't get others possessed.
 
I was thinking again, and maybe he was just trying to warn me against the evil possessed copyright trolls, AKA greedy media industry. Suing someone for way too much more money than the music they stole's worth... If he's not possessed he's the victim and music industries are possessed.

It has been the practice of the performance rights organizations over the last 70 or so years to sue stations that do not pay their established performance royalty (author and composer) amounts as an example and warning for other stations.

There is nothing new there, and the PROs are not really part of the big business of record companies... they are associations representing the holders of the copyrights to songs and they are legally due a small percentage for the right to use their material.

They are not trolls, and while any expense is annoying, justified in receiving a fair payment.
 
Makes sense. I've heard Sherland was sued in like 2004 or 2006, maybe he's just against the media because he wants to do what he wants, IDK but now he's playing indie Christian music, won't even play media's music.
 
David's correct. PROs go for it all. I've seen where they've put owners out of business from the judgements that PROs get.

It does not matter if the music is on a big label or an indie. The PRO fees are for the author and composer, not the label, and are paid to ASCAP, BMI, SESAC and Irving Azoff's new PRO company.

You know to play the Devil's advocate it seems sometimes as though the media is talking about you in their music... Stuff that doesn't make sense like the media itself is possessed - what are the music writers on drugs? *explicit warning*
