The station filed a complaint with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).
As soon as we became aware of the illegal transmission, we shut down our FM broadcast.
Our internet streaming broadcast at crescenthillradio.com has not been affected and continues to operate normally.
We will not resume operations of our FM feed until we can verify that it is secure.
We will be making a full and complete report to the Federal Communications Commission of this incident.
We apologize to anyone who was offended by the unauthorized broadcast.
As a public radio station, our only desire is to serve our local community.
As always, we thank you for your past and continued support.
Whatever your opinion, this really sucks for us.
Now we have to reach out to the FCC and explain.
We at WCHQ do not deserve to be compromised like this.
We may need to do a security sweep to determine what our vulnerabilities are.
I personally feel this is serious and threatened our ability to continue to operate in the way we intended.
However, the hack did not affect the stations internet broadcast.
We specifically avoid people coming on to talk about politics and religion, he said.
Its a matter of providing a community outlet for musicians and artists.
Its very disheartening that someone would take the opportunity to make a political statement.
