There seems to be a fever dream of epic proportions unfolding at 101.7 FM in Tuscaloosa, an alternative rock radio station.
Listeners began noticing dramatically strange events within the last several hours. The station, typically known for its alternative rock lineup, suddenly began playing Taylor Swift songs on repeat—followed by Russian versions of her tracks. Amid this bizarre playlist, a muddled voice, sometimes electronic and other times demonic-sounding, repeatedly announced it was “taking over the station,” muttering cryptic messages about aliens and other strange phenomena.
As of the time of this post, the staff at the station either appear unaware of the situation or are unable to stop it. Their website continues to function as though nothing unusual is happening, with links to news articles and football stories remaining untouched. Meanwhile, on the station’s Facebook page, listeners have started commenting, asking, “What is going on with the station?”
Or maybe there’s another explanation of earthly proportions.
Stunting is typically used to generate publicity and audience attention for upcoming changes to a station’s programming, such as new branding, format, or as a soft launch for a newly-established station.
Only reported a month ago, Tuscaloosa was ready to ditch the alternative station..
So while an alien invasion or Russian interference might be more fun, the explanation could be very mundane to get attention..
Developing.
