Right on the first point, quite wrong on the second.  Messrs. Atsinger and
Epperson are indeed Jewish.  That may be one reason why Salem seems to be 
run a bit more like a business than some of the other religious
broadcasters out there -- the folks in charge are motivated solely by
business concerns, not by personal beliefs.

And whether you like what they're programming or not, I think you have
to give them credit for being shrewd broadcasters, not just on the
business and programming ends, but also in terms of respecting history --
look at how they always bring back the original calls (or as close as
they can get) when they buy historic stations (witness AM 1300 Seattle,
ex-KOL, later KMPS, and now KKOL under Salem ownership!)

Hmmm...maybe Donna, Dan, and I should start our own religious
broadcasting company ("Swampscott Broadcasting"?)
