Comment Section for An Alabama Radio Station’s Went Missing. Now He Wants Answers. - The New York Times

The webpage is a New York Times article discussing the unusual theft of a 190-foot tall, 3,500-pound radio tower in Walker County, Alabama, which has left local radio station WJLX off the air. The tower, used for broadcasting local news, weather warnings, and high school football games to Jasper residents, was discovered missing on February 2. The station manager, Brett Elmore, is seeking answers and hopes to keep the station operational despite the loss. The tower was not insured and replacing it would cost between $60,000 and $100,000. The Federal Communications Commission stated that it cannot allow the station to use a nearby FM translator station without an AM tower. Despite the station being off-air, local advertisers have continued to support the station, which has been broadcasting online. No significant leads have been found in the investigation so far.
