The Media Hoarder | Crank calls on KFCB-42 Night Talk 2/91 @TheMediaHoarder | Uploaded May 2023 | Updated October 2024, 18 hours ago.
KFCB channel 42 was a super-powerful station transmitting from Mount Diablo and covered most of the San Francisco and Sacramento areas. I don't know why more stations didn't do this- the station itself was a medium-budget affair (never having stereo capability) that was entirely Christian-oriented 24 hours a day except for Sunday nights. The "TV ministry" folded in the 90s and it became the outlet for Spanish networks until the end of analog. Its digital signal never reached as far, and now channel-shares with channel 38 in San Francisco on Sutro Tower.
They had most of the big-name televangelists but also a lot of locally-produced shows including this one which was broadcast live late at night. You could call in and pray and stuff like that, but as you can see they didn't put the callers' voices on the air so it was often hard to follow what was being talked about. I'm not sure, but there may be a couple of crank calls on this recording. But for context, this was when the Gulf War was going on.
