LU Expanding Radio Broadcast

word_for_today

Jerry Falwell Jr. is pushing Liberty University’s non-commercial Religious broadcast group out-of-state into North Carolina. One of stations is from Calvary Chapel of Costa Mesa and is required to air their program, “The Word for Today.”

RBR:

The stations include WAJC-FM Zebulon, not far from Raleigh-Durham; WGPS-FM Elizabeth City; WPGT-FM Roanoke Rapids; and WJIJ-FM Norlina NC. Two translators are also included in the package.

The price will be $1.25M cash.

There is one other thing, though – Calvary will be permitted to air its program “The Word for Today” on each of the stations every weekday for as long as Liberty U. owns them. And credit the lawyers for steering clear of any unauthorized control issues by inserting a clause acknowledging that Liberty retains the right to preempt the program if they deem it necessary.
