Two Stations on Same Frequency? Don't Think So...

T

trusty

It's 5:40AM ET Oct 13, 2010. Here I am in North Georgia waking up to Clear Channel's 50,000 watt blowtorch 1530/WCKY broadcasting ESPN and Brother Stair at the same time.

So, I get out of bed and call up CKY's website and hit "Listen Live" to make sure - same thing; expensive sports contracts mixed with the failure of the Federal Reserve as a result of God's judgment. :D

This is not the first time it's happened. They did this...

Woah! It's 5:52AM, and Clear Channel's 50,000 watt blowtorch 1530/WCKY has just dropped Brother Stair and aired a LIVE (I think) traffic report.

I guess someone there is waking up, too.
 
(Beavis and Butthead chortle) COOL!
 
When I used to listen to Bob Costas on Saturday mornings on 1530, the network feed would always...ALWAYS... run underneath the show until I called WLW and told Gary Jeff's producer about it.

Computers work great until they don't.
 
You had to have something bouncing on top of 1530.


Maybe they are brokering out the skywave to Stair. He loves those "25 state" stations. Mistakenly, they had the automation picking up two satellite feeds....
He is a bottom feeder, price wise. I cannot imagine 1530 selling the time cheap enough to satisfy Stairs frugality.

Was the show identified as "The Overcomer Broadcast"?

Yes, he was in some trouble but i don't remember any jail time.
 
From Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brother_Stair

In 2002, Stair, then aged 68, was arrested in Walterboro on two counts of criminal sexual conduct in the second degree.[8] Two women associated with the compound, ages 18 and 20, alleged he coerced them by "enforcing his religious/personal beliefs" on them.[8] In 2004, Stair pleaded guilty to the lesser charge of assault and battery by fondling the two former residents, and was sentenced to time served, a total of 77 days in custody.[6][8] During his incarceration, recorded programs continued to be broadcast.[4] Stair's conviction caused division in the community, and about 40 members of the community left.[6] One refugee began his own shortwave program having left the community
