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.
