A pirate radio station was shut down in Long Island this morning after the WBAB Radio broadcast was hijacked during the “Roger and JP” show.

“This was not some child’s prank, this was a federal offense,” said WBAB program director, John Olsen during a news conference. The station uses a microwave signal to send it’s programming to the station’s transmitter located six miles north in Dix Hills.
The pirate apparently had his own microwave radio with a stronger signal aimed at the station's transmitter, thus overpowering and replacing the station's programming. The same thing happened to its sister station, WBLI-FM, two weeks ago.
And the radio station believes he might be found on the internet, on a radio message board, boasting of his accomplishment.
Interesting stuff, anyone else see a trend in attacks like this heading away from hackivism, reputation, yadda yadda... towards the $$$ and spyware? This is one of those times where it seems like money isn't involved. These cases are interesting...
