An Alabama radio station has been forced to temporarily shut down after thieves stole a 200ft radio tower.
WJLX, a station in Jasper, Alabama, was ordered to go off air by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) after thieves took the station’s AM tower last week, the Guardian first learned.
“In all my years of being in the business, around the business, everything like that, I have never seen anything like this,” WJLX’s general manager, Brett Elmore, told the Guardian.
“You don’t hear of a 200ft tower being stolen,” he added.
