The headline says this is at 2200-2400 UTC, the text says 2100-2300 UTC!

Mea culpa. Sorry, the Big L site lists broadcasts in UTC and the Dutch site in UTC+1. When I have both open, my brain sometimes gets confused about which one I am looking at

Not quite sure who is supposed to be living with the cuckoos here, in the land of that is. Not that I would suggest or imply that the religious punters may have to be living in such a place to perhaps not have an idea that there may be a few little exaggerations in the claims of this most wonderful station. which ideed Big L & Co is, as I listen most mornings on 1395 before listening to the listeners Top 15 on Caroline.
However the fact is that most of the listeners that are likely to tune in to religious programmes are to be of a minority ilk anyway, many that will be apart from the mass audience that normally listen to the station and may very well tune away in horror at hearing such a sudden change in the format! There will be some though that will not, ready to join in the cause of the almighty.
Undeniably then, there will be those of the religious beliefs that will tune into such an outlet and maybe some sort of compromise deal can be made that is beneficial to both the station and promoter of such a worthy cause of the Lord and his merry men, not that I will be one of them.

Dear Pete
The TX is not on air untill 22.00 UTC, so the religious programmes do not interrupt the format.
Tuning away will not be an issue.
