Religion Getting a New Frequency

[VERITAS DE VOCE]

Anyone else catch this billboard on WB 30 after Sylvan?

Catholic Radio on 910 AM and apparently syndicating en Espanol on 850 AM? I can't get static on those dials, maybe it's the old jalopy I'm rolling. Anyone?

 

[Lancer]

I'm always glad to hear 850 sign off in the evenings so I can hear KOA Denver on the way home.

 

[1Letterman]

I'm going to petition the FCC under equal time for a frequency.

Until we have a full-out "All Satan" station, things really aren't an even playing field.

I hope that is sarcasm

 

[gordontalk]

Can we call it Mephistopheles 990?

 

[1Letterman]

That's a good one! Others:

The Spawn 990
Beelzebub Radio 990
The Damned 990
Brimstone 990
E-vil 990

I wonder what would really happen if someone actually tried to put a Satan station on the air? I'm sure that there would be a market for it somewhere. We have stations geared towards every other life style. So look at this with an open mind and put your personal beliefs to the side for a moment. Where do you draw the line and say that something can't exist? Religion comes in many different forms, and there's honestly no way to prove any of it. So could a station designed around the belief of Satan ever really exist? The bible condemns homosexuality, however we have Pride Radio. Maybe there's more homosexuals than Satan worshipers though. And then there's the kids right?

 

[1Letterman]

Didn't 990 ALREADY have Satan working there?

Instead of P-1's, this station has "minions." Instead tracking listenership, it would just "hold them thrall."

Imagine a heavy-metal, goth-ish, very aggressively anti-social and depressed morning show:

"Good, good morning...you're with Balthazor The Executioner in the wee small ones of a Friday morning...we've got the whole Spawn 990 crew here...Niki Anvil will have human sacrifice updates on the 20's...Draglesh The Feared will be here to tell you how to get blood stains from "cutting" out of your clothes...Slithis Of The Soul Eaters will tell you kids how to blame a murderous rampage on Metallica music...and at 7:45--the big man, our program director himself--Satan with all his wacky tales of soul possession...now this new one from The Undead, and it's called The Heart Tastes Better..."

No superciliousness here... if you're that interested, check the San Francisco boards. That's the home of "Hotel California" - the birthplace of Anton Szandor LaVey and the Church of Satan. If any place is crazy enough to dedicate "Mephisto 990" on the dial, it's that place.

And for those serious about that petition, go get your Deicide and Cannibal Corpse tunes from the Web and leave the FCC alone with that drama ;D

Seriously, the only way that I think that a Satanic station would stay on the air would be if it was heavily subsidized by the station's owner.

First, I suspect that the number of Satan worshippers is extremely small -- if it's as much as 1% of the population, I would be surprised. Keep in mind that Wiccans, new-agers, etc are not Satan worshippers, even though they are sometimes erroneously labelled as such by some Christians.

And even if it was a large enough group to generate measurable ratings, it would be extremely difficult to find advertisers willing to be associated such a format. There would be a lot of commercial-free hours on that station.

This is old news...Catholic programming on 910 signed on 10/2/2006, and the calls changed from KXEB to KATH on 1/23/2007. 850 went Spanish Catholic on 10/2/2006 as well, and I believe still uses the old calls "KJON" (held over from its days as an Anadarko, OK station.)

Try searching KATH on the board, as there was someone from the station who posted here with more info about the stations. This would have been in Oct or Nov of last year.

I liked 1Letterman's idea of "E-vil 990." Resurrect the old Heller jingles from KVIL, and substitute "E" for "K." "Playin' music for the kind of mood you get uh-huh!!! E---V---I---L!!!" "Pilot of the airwaves, E-V-I-L!"

 

[RADIO TRUTH]

Some potential songs for a satanic format.....You're The Devil In Disguise, Devil Or Angel-Clovers and Bobby Vee, Devil With A Blue Dress On, Little Devil-Neil Sedaka and Helen Wheels. I am sure there are others.

Sympathy for the Devil - Rolling Stones

 

[1Letterman]

Target demo: The hard to reach 12-25 Male "just about to buy an AK-47 and head toward a college campus" demo.

Sponsors: Tattoo parlors, Choppers West, head shops, candle stores, places that raise and sell goats and other animals for midnight slaughter over a stump, and Kia.

Playlist: Anything anti-God death metal, and Stairway to Heaven backwards at the top of each hour, and a little Coldplay.

Wait a minute, isn't that a list of 105.3's sponsors? (Add The Men's Club or The Lodge and it'll be complete.)

A few years back, I seem to remember a station somewhere stunting as "Hell 96.9" or something like that. I think it was a CHR. If I remember right, the locals weren't amused and it generated a TON of talk. Exactly what the stunt was supposed to do.

Mike, and the rest of our esteemed pundits out there in Radio-Info land, want some word association irony regarding this post. Spell "Evil" 990 backwards... remind anyone of L-I-V-E 105? Nice. ;D

Funny stuff! And it would be a lot funnier if it weren't so true, like when I realized I had married his daughter.

I think that that's 93.3, based on their format, Classic Crappic Rock.
If Classic Rock is not from the pit of Hell, I do not know what is..
