Sampson said the hacker likely gained access to the airwaves via software the station uses for its FM broadcast

Then secure the thing or don't have it accessible from the outside. 

Or perhaps it was an inside job...

It appears to have happened over multiple radio stations nations wide (mostly LPFM) that were using the same program feed. One station manager admitted to not have the program material password protected

And it is such a friendly song, what with its message of unity and peace to all...sure to quell the divide that has grown over the last few years....
