A few local radio stations were in for quite a surprise when their stations were hijacked by a YG fan. Sunny 107.9, a non commercial radio station which covers 10 miles of Salem, SC, was one of the stations that was hacked and forced to play YG’s “FDT” over the airwaves. They took to their Facebook page Monday to explain the mix up.
“This is NOT our broadcast!” Sunny 107.9, President Frank Patterson of the Lake Keowee Broadcasting Group, wrote on Monday. “We at WFBS do not take political views! The FCC and WFBS are working to fix this situation ASAP.”
Monday’s incident wasn’t the first. On January 20, inauguration day, several low power stations were hit with the FDT hack. A station in San Angelo, Texas, which normally plays R&B oldies, also played the song, along with El Jefe 96.7, a Spanish language station in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, 103.5 in Evansville, Indiana, and Crescent Hill Radio, a nonprofit station that plays local music in Louisville, Kentucky.
“OK, not funny. some one has hacked into out transmitter tower, and the FM was playing a mp3 clip repeatedly of %$^# Donald Trump,” Crescent Hill Radio posted on Facebook.
