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.

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.

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.

Then shortwave wouldn't be any fun at all to listen to.

Actually, it'll be a lot more fun to listen to! Get rid of all the
fundamentalist profits and shortwave will prosper.
