Radio station offers $10,000 reward for information on 'hijacking'Long island radio station WBUB, which broadcasts on FM 102.3, is putting up a $10,000 reward for information that leads to the successful conviction of the person or persons who interrupted its signal on Wednesday morning. At about 7:10am, a pirate hacked into the signal for a 90 seconds, during which it broadcast an offensive song filled with racial slurs. WBUB points out that "this is not some child's prank, this is a federal offence. We condemn their actions and their harmful words, are asking for a full investigation into this matter by the FCC and contacting local authorities to assist us into finding out who did this." WBUB believes the perpetrator was someone who works, or has worked, in the broadcasting industry, maybe even at WBAB itself. "Clearly, someone has a bone to pick with WBAB, and understands the broadcast business well enough, to know how to hack into our signal, and has access to this equipment and obviously was able to gain access to our broadcast. Cox Radio and 102.3 WBAB are sickened by this incident. It goes against everything we stand for, and we are taking steps to make sure that nothing like this ever happens again." Source: Media Network
