AM stations going against the trends.

How much is Brother Stair making to afford all this?

His/His foundation's profit is likely at the level of Joel Osteen or Billy Graham.

And how old is he?

I imagine there has got to either be an heir apparent or a bloody power struggle when he dies.

As others have mentioned, Stair has passed away. The Overcomer Ministry almost certainly has a plan to continue to be successful long after his passing. This is how they are able to just take over AM's like WEW.

I believe Bro. Stair is dead.

The Last Day prophet indeed had his last day April 3, 2021.

Correct, and no matter who a person is, it's always a little sad to see them go.

Obviously Overcomers Ministry can afford to buy the time. Ministries as long-lived generally are very well funded. Some followers contribute all their wealth when they die. If they play it right, they never run out of money.

I agree with you here.

Right there, is the quote of the week.

I think it is fair to say WEW was no cash cow. Such brokered stations average around $100 per hour in revenue, perhaps a bit higher determined by number of programmers buying. I could get $200 an hour if a client bought an hour or two a week but somebody buying the entire weekday hours (daytime only) might pay about $1,000 a day. And that was pre-Covid.

I remember WEW being a Big Band outlet in the 80s, which would sometimes sneak into Ohio at sunset
