A few years ago, I was listening to a Cincinnati Reds baseball game on 580 WCHS in Charleston and heard an advertisement for a service called “Say Uncle TV”. I was curious as to the content and channels it provided, and I wanted to see how it compared to Eternal TV.

So I purchased a one month subscription – I refuse to pay for yearly subscriptions because you won’t get your money back if the service gets raided and shut down – to check it out. To say I was underwhelmed would be an understatement. There was buffering galore, there were channels which refused to load, and I was disappointed in the lack of WCHS TV on the service. After all, this service was being advertised on local Charleston Radio!

So I cancelled my service, and to teach the person a lesson, I contacted 580 WCHS on Twitter and alerted them that “Say Uncle TV” was an illegal pirate IPTV service and that they could be held liable for providing advertising space for such an illegal service.

Guess what?

Advertisement for Say Uncle TV continued on the WCHS Network – which includes 680 WKAZ and – at the time 98.7, now 107.3 – WRVZ, Charleston’s hip hop station. (Or -in the words of YouTube radiotvphononut – “mumble rap”.)

I even contacted WV Attorney General Patrick Morrissey’s office and provided the evidence of Say Uncle TV being illegal piracy. At the time, they just blew me off with a computer-generated “thank you and we’ll look into this” BS of a reply.

So why did the West Virginia Radio Corporation – which owns WCHS, WKAZ, and WRVZ – allow Say Uncle TV to be advertised on their stations?

Because the owner of Say Uncle TV was none other than Woody Woods, one of the main voices of WRVZ.

It turned out that Say Uncle TV was in fact owned by Limuel Woods (Woody Woods’ real name). Say Uncle TV’s offices were located in South Charleston and Dunbar. After looking at the addresses listed for South Charleston and Dunbar, I discovered that the addresses were located in areas where property values were among the highest in their respective areas. The South Charleston residence is valued at $309,199, while the residence in Dunbar is valued at $136,800.

It’s clear that Woody Woods was inspired by notorious IPTV pirate omiinahellcat who used his Gears Reloaded IPTV service to buy numerous luxurious homes and luxury vehicles.

However, shortly after the demise of Gears Reloaded and the conviction and imprisonment of omiinahellcat, the advertising of Say Uncle TV disappeared from stations owned by the West Virginia Radio Corporation, and just recently, Say Uncle TV was shut down. I don’t know if Woods voluntarily shut it down (for fear of the same thing happening to him), or if he was contacted by ACE and forced to shut it down.

Even so, it is HIGHLY irresponsible for the West Virginia Radio Corporation to allow one of their employees to advertise his own illegal pirate IPTV service which was also used for illegal money launderinflg.

So why does Woody Woods still have a job at WRVZ? Because he’s black. If that had been a white person running Say Uncle TV, they would probably be in federal prison right now and accused of using their money laundering scheme to fund everything from white supremacist groups or even the January 6 insurrection.
