Hackers are taking over the radio transmitters at small, local American stations – and playing a song entitle, ‘F*** Donald Trump’.

The hackers break into equipment and play the song – by YG & Nipsey Hussle – on a loop, station executives have said.

The latest victim on January 30 was South Carolina’s ‘Sunny 1.07.9 WFBS’ – which was taken over and forced to play the song for 15 minutes.

Frank Patterson, the President of the station, said, ‘This is happening all over the country. Our internet has been hacked at our transmitter site and the station has played anti-Trump song.

‘This is not our broadcast. We at WFBS do not take political views.

The hacks come after hacktivist collective Anonymous urged its followers to target Donald Trump.

The hackers appear to be targeting small local radio stations – taking over audio devices, and playing an MP3 on a loop.

A station in Louisville Kentucky was hacked on 20 January – and said that other stations across the country were hit at the same time.

The hackers appear to be targeting Barix Estreamer devices – used as a link between the studio and the transmitter itself.

Station Manager Kathy Weisbac, said, ‘Many other stations in the country had the same thing happen at the same time.’
