Sign-on at *0159 GMT with off-key "W-I-M-P" jingle. Announcer says: "Ladies and gentlemen, get ready for the most awesome radio experiment...", "You are now tuned to the most powerful pirate broadcaster on the North American continent.", then off-key jingle, then song by Tracey Ullman's "They Don't Know About Us", and into talk and Greek music.
