WRIP had to fill that loooong 7-hour broadcast day somehow, and I bet they didn't have a whole lot of paid commercials to pad out the slots on their pathetic excuse for a schedule. (Though, with both the Stooges and Bugs on there, I'd have been watching, anyway...) The good preacher filled 5 minutes at a time that would probably have otherwise been occupied by cheesy PSAs. ;)
