Radio Station Hacked, Plays “F*ck Donald Trump” Over and Over on Inauguration Day
Someone was able to hack into the broadcast signal of WCHQ-FM in Louisville, Kentucky, and play “Fuck Donald Trump” by YG & Nipsey Hussle over and over again for 15 minutes on
WCHQ, a non-profit publically run radio station running at 100.7 Mhz, says it was hacked around 2:30 on Friday. The interruption apparently occurred at the transmitter site. The Louisville Courier-Journal reports
[Program Director Gary] Sampson said the hacker likely gained access to the airwaves via software the station uses for its FM broadcast. The software is designed to allow emergency broadcasts, such as government alerts, to immediately interrupt the station’s signal at the transmitter tower, a system Sampson said hackers likely used to override the on-air program. The hack did not affect the station’s internet broadcast.
For those not familiar with the song, it goes something like this.
“The software is designed to allow emergency broadcasts, such as government alerts, to immediately interrupt the station’s signal at the transmitter tower,”
Wrong! You need to update post.

Don’t spread fake facts.
