Someone Hijacked Multiple Small Stations' Signals With Anti-Trump Song

Someone's Not A Fan

Some radio stations found themselves hijacked and playing a loop of a profane anti-DONALD TRUMP song on Inauguration Day.

Among the stations involuntarily playing YG and NIPSEY HUSSLE's "F-ck DONALD TRUMP" were low-power WCHQ-LP (CRESCENT HILL RADIO)/LOUISVILLE, whose FM signal was hijacked while its online stream was not.  The station shut its transmitter off as soon as personnel there were aware of the incident and did not resume broadcasts until late FRIDAY.

RADIO 810 NASHVILLE, LTD. Regional Mexican WMGC-A-W244CW (EL JEFE 96.7)/MURFREESBORO, TN also got hit with the hijacking, as did SUNDAY MORNING GLORY RADIO low-power Urban KCGF-LP/SAN ANGELO, TX. RADIO INSIGHT reports that the hijacking may have been accomplished through unsecured STL devices similar to an incident last APRIL.
