Default More than a Pirate Station Bust

"With the help of the Federal Communications Commission, they also shut down
104.7 FM, a station running out of a building Thompson owns at 6723-29 S.
Parnell, officials said."

"The station was automated most of the day, but it broadcast live at night,
playing uncensored rap and even sending a car around Englewood to take
requests and have listeners give "shout-outs" to friends over the radio. Its
signal went from Cermak to 110th and from the lakefront to Western, said
Larry Langford, a city spokesman. The city's Office of Emergency
Communications helped authorities locate the station, which was broadcasting
without a license, and record its illegal transmissions, he said."

'"They played rap music, unedited, uncut," said Assistant U.S. Attorney
Joseph Alesia. There were also "almost public service announcements to the
other gang members alerting them to surveillance in certain areas of the
South Side." "

'A studio for M.O.B. Records operated in the same building on Parnell,
officials said. Thompson, president of M.O.B., produced "Cha-Cha Slide," a
hit album."
