WILD-AM Loaded With Infomercials

Like many radio geeks, I sometimes monitor the AM & FM dials just to check on what's happening, not just to listen to the stations themselves. Today (Saturday 02/03) I noticed that WILD-AM 1090 was airing back-to-back "infomercials" for Purity brand supplements. Not exactly "community-based" programming, more like WBZ-AM on Sunday nights.

it goes well with their weekend gospel music format...

wbz also sells junk on early sunday mornings, 3-5am, too...but then again almost every big station in the market is now running some sort of infomercial at that hour on weekends. there's a big fm station which is going to start running infomercials on weekdays(3-4am).
 
Amazing! What a way to say to one's audience "thank you for listneing", by airing things that the station knows are not in the best interest of that audience!
