WBCQ The Planet Announces New Showcase Radio Facility

Plymouth Meeting, PA: WBCQ The Planet announced today that it is building one of the most powerful and versatile radio stations in the world. WBCQ’s new shortwave radio station, now under construction in Monticello, Maine, features a new 500-kilowatt transmitter from Continental Electronics and a state-of-the-art antenna system from Ampegon Antenna of Switzerland.

The new station, funded by private investors, will be able to direct a powerful shortwave signal to any country on Earth. Our new facility is planned to be a showcase for the radio world and is dedicated to our free speech mission.

The new station is planned to commence operations in fall 2018.

About WBCQ The Planet: WBCQ is an international shortwave broadcast station located in Monticello, Maine, USA. We broadcast on 7.490 MHz, 9.330 MHz, 5.130 MHz, and 3.265 MHz. We’ve been bringing access to the airwaves for people like you since 1998.

Well, they DO broadcast at 7490, but the other frequencies I can get them at are 5129.8 and 9330.x, sometimes 9331. I wonder who these private investors are, and if it will be nothing but Brother Stair when it goes live?

It seems obvious that the new owners are IHeartRadio, in a new guise.

I hope they read this: I for one welcome my new Pirate Radio overlords! I am yours to command!!!

Who is this phony Fansome? The real Al has been shacked up in Pyongyang with Joyce Kim since the end of the Winter Olympics.

Probably that Kracker fella. He was always jealous that Al's knees towered over that pin like attachment to his neck he called a head.
