WSHB going QRT
 

I received a letter today from the Station Manager at WSHB. Here are a
couple excerpts:

"I am very sad to have to write to you today, to let you know that we will
cease our shortwave broadcasts on February 29, 2004"

"We are hoping that someone will come forward and purchase the station so
that we may continue our broadcasts, but so far we have not found anyone.
Should we be successful in finding a buyer, I will let you know as soon as I
can."

WSHB RIP

Isn't that "Harvest Broadcasting"? Just goes to show you how difficult
it is to run a SW station with paid programming, especially religious
and right wing. The broadcasters simply don't pay enough to keep the
juice on.

Now if only WWCR and WWRB would disappear...

World Harvest Radio ended up with the old WCSN. They're now WHRA.

WCSN and WSHB were alot more interesting back when the Christian Science
Monitor had their Monitor Radio network going.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!

Ah yes. I'd forgotten all about Monitor Radio. That was a classy, informative
operation.

Yes, it was. Unfortunately, it cost more than the Church wanted to
spend. As I understand, attempting to run a TV operation really drained
their funds quickly. They still have the Christian Science Monitor, but
I haven't seen one of those papers in years. It did have a reputation
for first rate journalism.

Thanks! Looks like the Christian Science Monitor is still doing a good
job. Too bad about Monitor Radio, though.

Thanks, Frank. I was going to say they had a Web version.

The Prophet says something big will be happening this year, probably in
May. It hasn't been revealed if these upcoming events will silence the
Last Day Prophet of God.

I think AFRTS and Monitor Radio each did a good job of presenting
America in a way the VOA doesn't. As much as I enjoy domestic shortwave
radio, I'm not sure nonamericans have the cultural backround to seperate
the wheat from the chaff. Sorta like the false image "The Untouchables"
gave to Chicago.

According to a Boston " Globe " story last Thursday, CS church
officials plan to make changes to the print edition of the CSM
newspaper, as well as exploring the possibility of charging for
subscriptions for the online version. Church treasurer Walter D. Jones
said that the Church' s publishing and broadcasting division, the
Christian Science Publishing Society, must break even by 2008 and turn
a profit by 2009.

I really like it when those non-profit outfits start talking 'profit'.

At least I'm assuming they are a non-profit organisation.

No need to stay in the dark.

Did you ever wonder how the Conspiracy can hold together? Why haven't
some of the Conspirators spilled the beans out of revenge or simply
drunkeness?

What is it with these aliens and DNA mixing, anyway? Why would human
DNA be in any way compatible with whatever weird genetic material the
aliens have?

Thankfully, the world of mystical religious thought has given us some
answers. It all goes back to Atlantis. The early humans, including the
people of Atlantis, were much smarter than we are. Dr. Gene Scott says
as much when he describes the building of the pyramids.

Well, let's imagine the Atlantians weren't building pyramids. When
these antedeluvians wern't joyriding their flying saucers into outer
space, they were hacking DNA to form races of mind controlled
human-insect-reptilian slaves. The more human of these creations could
change their appearance as the need arose. The evil civilization of man
had to be destroyed, and the great flood covered up all evidence of it's
existance. The genetic abominations are now in Satan's control.

I hope this illiminatiates the answers to the questions I posed.

No, but I always suspected it. After all, what kind of club picks a Fez for
a hat?

The profound revelation to me was last weekend, when Alex Jones broadcasted
that the NSA is listening in through the OnStar in my Tahoe, and that
cable-TV boxes all have microphones in them.

Do you think they'll send a black helicopter if my airbag deploys?

There will be no black helicopter unless you are alone. And your camera
has no film. Sobriety is optional.

What I want to know is why aliens never abduct our political leaders or
academic scholars, and instead give anal probes to some idiot in a pickup
truck on a dirt road.

Hey, you can't prove that it's not happening....

My sister knew a guy who refused to own a vehicle with electronic ignition.
His reason was that if the police, feds, black helicoptors, or whoever are
chasing you, they can have a satellite beam down a signal that will disable
the computer in your vehicle.

It would be certainly be a dangerous admission for a controlled person.
He/she would have would have to include a subtle clue to reassure the
Conspriacy. Perhaps a mention of the inhuman, the otherworldly, the
abominable. Astroturf fills the Bill.
