Brother Stair on WCXI right now

Post by Colonel Flagg » Mon May 09, 2022 3:27 pm

Dead air on WCXI all day, and then, at 3PM, instead of Guy Benson, we're treated to the infamous "Brother Stair" :rollin

It can't get any better than this.

Doomsday Prophet who operates mostly on the shortwaves. He operated a cult when he was alive, even getting in trouble for sex crimes. He’s a crazy piece of work, but listening to his show is wild.

And the checks always clear :lol

Brother Stair was most notably on 1530 WCKY during overnights for many years, among others. But what is he doing on WCXI??? My guess is, either the STL is down again, and this is some sort of oversight, or WCXI is being fed the wrong audio feed. But seriously, WTF, big-time.

Interestingly, Stair's "Overcomer Ministry" ceased using conventional terrestrial radio stations in 2018 due to "legal difficulties", instead using internet, satellite and shortwave, so WCXI's carriage of his programming may be just a fluke:

Why can’t they just spend a few bucks and get the problem actually fixed including the muddy audio.

I'd say it might be WYLL 1160 except:

1) I don't think Salem would run that program.

2) While WYLL might roll in and overpower WCXI at 3:00 PM in the Winter, it's six hours before Sunset in May. WYLL is the equivalent of 100 kW Class B toward WCXI with the Day Pattern, including Critical Hours, in this case, beginning at 3:00 PM in December.

Was. He’s taking a dirt nap now. Unfortunately, his voice reaches beyond the grave.


They/them, non-binary and proud.

As of this writing, Brother Stair's pontificating continues on WCXI.

I wonder, did Sima fall asleep?

My guess is the station doesn't generate enough revenue to cover the power bill.

Probably not.

It also occurs to me "the powers that be" at Premiere may be interested to know that their line up of talk shows are frequently not making it to air in Detroit. I would bet there are contracts in place covering same. :smokin

Would not surprise me if the old format is kaput.

Could be, but with Brother Stair as a placeholder? :rollin

All things being equal, I don't even think the legendary Roy Henderson would allow Brother Stair on any of his derilict stations. :lol

Wouldn't surprise me if the church or ministry he founded still exists and they are paying for airtime.

I turned in early this afternoon just for fun and heard him singing a hymn. He's one hell of a singer! LOL

The interesting thing is the audio sounds better now than it did before.
