Thank 'God' for that!

Complete and utter nonsense and they've probably realised no one took it seriously.

They took up quite a few frequencies so they'll hopefully be available.

Will miss the nonsense.
'It's better to give than receive' so why Rx when you can Tx!

That, eh-em, "congregation", has announced this in the past, even before Brother Stair ascended the golden STAIRcase to beyond in 2021:

It looks like WRMI, not Overcomer Intergalactic HQ directly, was the source of this announcement most recently:

Available?  'Available' for what, static? Because a lot of money accompanied those Overcomer Ministry broadcasts, and that money helped keep the SW stations on the airwaves. If Overcomer Ministry follows through and goes off the shortwaves, it's going to hurt the SW stations that they used to broadcast their programming.

How many other programs will fill the breach? Especially to the same extent?

An AM radio Boombox DXer.
+ GE SRIII, PR-D5 & TRF on MW.
The usual Realistic culprits on SW (and a Panasonic).

This is America. We will never run out of cranks, which means private shortwave broadcasting is safe.
Big into SWDX late 70s through early 90s, then forgot about it and when I returned via SDRs it wasn't at all what I remembered, but I'll deal with it. Grumble, grumble. All SDRs acknowledged, nothing is from my own radio.
