Update 08 FEB

0001 Looped message over instrumental continues, same recording as last week.

Methinks with WBT being a non-programmed station, the 490 miles between Richmond and Atlanta is the longest stretch on the East Coast without a regularly operating Class A 50,000 station - quite a distance for a highly populated area.

11 August 

0930 Had not checked in months, remembered to try before sunrise this morn.  Looped recording (different than beginning of year) with instrumental music, ID, and giving instructions to listen to station on FM frequency.  This is an example of Radio Crime.   ;)

This has beem going on for months..

They were supposed to have someone to fill 1110 but it didnt go thru.... They should put 107.9 on 1.11 until they find something for 1110!!

We have a thread about it here if ya wanna look :)
