Not so insane, unfortunately.

A lot of these old unattended studio/transmitter sites are uninsured. The old WOHO/WWWM studios (owned by the Dickey brothers) were not insured. It's hard to get the insurance companies to write a policy on what is almost vacant property, with deferred maintenance issues, and basically, an attractive nuisance for vandalism.

As for Brother Stair, he's been dead for years, and it amazes me he still has followers. Sima will put anyone on as long as the check clears. How long will it last? Who knows?

When I discovered shortwave when I was younger, I found Brother Stair. I listened for a while, thinking this was an old computer that was talking. There wasn't a lot on the internet about him back then, so for many years I tried to figure out if this was a real person. Then he started yelling and had more inflection in his voice, and decided it was a real person. Whenever I would listen, it was for entertainment and humor.

So... I may be late to the party but Brother Stair is on WNZK 680/690 simulcasting 1160am WCXI. It's been awhile since I've turned WNZK on. They keep running sweepers to call them for an exciting radio opportunity LOL. I don't know if this simulcast is 24/7 or just part time. Either way, I'd love to know who is ponying up the money to air this nonsense on both stations.

The first time I heard Brother Stair, was on an FM station around The Findlay Ohio area, when I lived down that way. I think it was 94.1fm. Then later on, I would catch him on 1530am WCKY out of Cincinnati, the first time I heard him I was pretty creeped out. Then I just found it funny,

It's usually a technical glitch that places Brother Stair on WNZK, or so I have been told. He's only supposed to be on WCXI.

Hmmm? Sounds like a lazy excuse to me but then again, were talking Birach here.

Probably so. He runs 24/7 on multiple throwaway Birach-owned AM stations these days.

Where does the money come from? There can’t be that many people donating for the cause……or maybe?
