There used to be Islamic programs late Sunday afternoon on Christian radio station WTLC-AM 1310 in Indianapolis. I wonder if the program(s) will still run this Easter Sunday and if so, what will the program(s) say about the resurrection of Jesus Christ on Easter? If the station has any listeners, do they care?

Doesn't suprise me, this is Radio Dump we're talking about. No wonder Hughes and Son are getting grilled by Investors, with stupid decisions like this(A Muslim program on a Christian station, what the hell anyways?)

My, such a Christian attitude here. Hersh, to answer your question, probably NOTHING. So what?
As long as they pay for the time, that's the radio business! If they were refused the time purchase, the station could be in a lawsuit, anyway.

Yeah, Hersch. Just because Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth and the life, no one comes to the Father but my Me", what's the big deal? Putting 2 different religions on the same radio station, so what? I'm sure advertisers will really be drawn to that. Let's get the word out.

Advertisers? You mean other preachers. In fact the Islamic stuff could very well attract more Christian programming.
I'm a Christian, but there is no reason to condemn anyone else. Jesus was tolerant, wasn't He?
Protestants think Catholics are wrong and vice versa. So what? If you are Republican you think Democrats are wrong, too.
To a radio station ALL of their money is green. That's what counts in this deal.

Missouri Lutheran Synod vs the FCC
KKK Wanted airtime and they said no. Big Legal mess for years. if they didn't loose the license they came close.
Now, if they had just suggested a higher program rate the Klan couldn't afford. There you go.
TLC will run anything for anyone if the money is good.

KFUO (the Lutherans) only won by 1 commissioners vote.
You have to understand, a radio license is LENT to the licencee. It BELONGS to the FCC and they "lend it to you."
Nowadays, even small stations spend alot making sure they stay within the fcc rules. Those rules are MUCH MORE LAX than they were years ago, but you can't discriminate about WHO buys your time.
In the last post it suggested quoting a higher rate.
If the "higher rate" was not JUSTIFIED, they could sue the station and (probably) WIN, thus getting on the air plus getting a FINE from the fcc, anyway.
MOST EVERY RADIO STATION "will run anything for anyone if the money is good." You'd be stupid not to. Lots of station s that run (your words, aargh! - not mine)... "radio dump" make a POTLOAD of money. That's how it works.

What's your motivation, H? In earlier posts you defend a "Christian" radio station for broadcasting Islamic programs because it's just about making money. This time around however, you say it way okay to sue the Lutherans for DISCRIMIATING against the KKK for not selling them airtime? Or that if another broadcaster seeks to avoid a similar situation in the future by raising the rate for that prospect, that that's wrong? I notice that you have many posts on the religion board and I'm just curious about your motivations.

WHAT exactly do you mean by "motivation?"
As a former owener/gm, I have a habit of following the fcc rules (but not necessarily agreeing).
You said; if another broadcaster seeks to avoid a similar situation in the future by raising the rate for that prospect, that's wrong?
YES, it's discrimination to not give the same rate for the same thing to everybody. However, first, you must first get caught. There are many ot's of cases of lawsuits because of this. If you do it, expect trouble.
