It would have been better if it stayed on air, because now the political and religious programs are being mixed with the entertainment programs on 5130 kHz.

What's the difference?  It should all be viewed as entertainment, or comedy.

I used to roll in early on Sunday mornings, still half shot, and watch Ernest Angely. Ernest would hop all around the stage smacking people on the forehead but his rug stayed pointing in the same direction. It was the best thing on television Must have been a gyroscope or a magnet in the rug?
