We are re-arranging some of our programming in order to save costs at WBCQ. This impacts the air times of many programs in our weekend blocks on WBCQ 7.415. Here are the schedule changes, effective Saturday, November 7, 2009:

• Marion’s Attic moves from Saturday 5 PM eastern time on 7.415 MHz to Sunday 5 PM eastern time on 7.415 MHz
• WGOD Presents moves from Saturday 6 PM eastern time on 7.415 MHz to Sunday 6 PM eastern time on 7.415 MHz
• The Lumpy Gravy Radio Show moves from Saturday 7 PM eastern time on 7.415 MHz to Monday 7 PM eastern time on 7.415 MHz (Note that Lumpy Gravy and Timtron will remain on Saturday 7 PM and 8 PM respectively, on 5.110 MHz only.)
• Radio Timtron Worldwide moves from Saturday 8 PM eastern time on 7.415 MHz to Tuesday 7 PM eastern time on 7.415 MHz

• The Last Roundup moves from Sunday 6 PM on 7.415 to Friday 3 PM on 7.415 MHz. This displaces World of Radio and Amos And Andy that was previously in this time slot.

Note that these schedule changes will result in WBCQ 7.415 MHz being dark on Saturdays, with the exception of The Overcomer Ministry, which remains on from 9 PM to 11 PM.

One more programming change of note:

• The Secular Bible Study has ended it’s run on WBCQ. It’s time slot, Monday 9-10 PM eastern time, is being taken by The Overcomer Ministry.
