The Greenwood Beat – WFPG is back in full operation. According to CEO Angela K. Chambers, the station was silent early Sunday morning during the time we should have been hearing some of these good old-school gospels Francetta L. Mays like in rotation. After a bit of research, it was discovered that the station was, in fact, down. Initially, it was suspected that it was isolated to WFPG; however, Francetta was advised that more stations were affected.

After a few texts, calls, and emails, the station was back online and playing some of those favorite tunes. Fans of The Greenwood Beat can now rejoice as the station is back and better than ever.

Angela K. Chambers, the CEO, expressed her gratitude to the loyal listeners for their patience and support during the downtime. She also mentioned that steps have been taken to ensure such technical issues do not happen again.

Early Sunday morning, the Greenwood Beat radio station fell victim to a cyber attack, leaving their system compromised. However, the dedicated team worked tirelessly to restore the station and successfully got it back up and running on the TuneIn radio app.

Unfortunately, the joy was short-lived as an error occurred on the app early Monday morning. Angela K Chambers, the Chief Operating Officer, expressed her determination to resolve the issue, stating, “I want to make sure that we’re up and running before I give updates. All I can say is, we must be doing something right if someone wants to hack our station. I apologize for the inconvenience caused to our loyal listeners, especially those who tune in on Sundays.”

The Greenwood Beat has become known for its Sunday morning lineup, featuring Francetta L Mays’ Sunday Morning Old-School Gospels, national recording artist Shonda English’s The Old Landmark Gospel Hour, and Minister Alvin Muhammad’s Trumpet on Greenwood. It is disheartening that these shows have been disrupted, as they have become a staple for many listeners.

However, Angela Chambers finds solace in her faith, believing that the challenges faced by the station were known to the God she serves. She reassures the listeners that she will keep them updated on the progress of resolving the issue. The team is working tirelessly to get the station back on track.

Chambers expressed her gratitude to both the loyal listeners and occasional drop-ins, stating, “The Greenwood Beat is making waves in the airways, and we will continue to do so. Don’t count us out.”
