I received a letter today from the Station Manager at WSHB. Here are a
couple excerpts:

"I am very sad to have to write to you today, to let you know that we
will
cease our shortwave broadcasts on February 29, 2004"

"We are hoping that someone will come forward and purchase the station so
that we may continue our broadcasts, but so far we have not found anyone.
Should we be successful in finding a buyer, I will let you know as soon
as I
can."

WSHB RIP

...another redundant religious broadcaster goes bye-bye on shortwave.
pity it couldn't have been Brother Stair!

Over the years there were many times when I'd wished that WYFR would cease
transmitting.

The Prophet says something big will be happening this year, probably in
May. It hasn't been revealed if these upcoming events will silence the
Last Day Prophet of God.

I think AFRTS and Monitor Radio each did a good job of presenting
America in a way the VOA doesn't. As much as I enjoy domestic shortwave
radio, I'm not sure nonamericans have the cultural backround to seperate
the wheat from the chaff. Sorta like the false image "The Untouchables"
gave to Chicago.

Ah yes. I'd forgotten all about Monitor Radio. That was a classy,
informative
operation.

Bill, K5BY.

Yes, it was. Unfortunately, it cost more than the Church wanted to
spend. As I understand, attempting to run a TV operation really drained
their funds quickly. They still have the Christian Science Monitor, but
I haven't seen one of those papers in years. It did have a reputation
for first rate journalism.

According to a Boston " Globe " story last Thursday, CS church
officials plan to make changes to the print edition of the CSM
newspaper, as well as exploring the possibility of charging for
subscriptions for the online version. Church treasurer Walter D. Jones
said that the Church' s publishing and broadcasting division, the
Christian Science Publishing Society, must break even by 2008 and turn
a profit by 2009.

I really like it when those non-profit outfits start talking 'profit'.

At least I'm assuming they are a non-profit organisation.

Now if only WWCR and WWRB would disappear...

Then shortwave wouldn't be any fun at all to listen to.

Actually, it'll be a lot more fun to listen to! Get rid of all the
fundamentalist profits and shortwave will prosper.

Get rid of all the preachers but keep the conspiracy nuts! I always
enjoy
getting a good laugh out of them.

Without the preachers, how would you know the Freemasons worship
Lucifer? You do know that?
