Radio Station Tower Stolen and NO ONE KNEW 😲

We’re not sure how someone actually steals a 200 foot radio tower, but it happened in Alabama.

WJLX-AM has been off the air since Feb. 2, when a landscaping crew visited the site where the tower is supposed to be for routine maintenance. One of the crew called general manager Brett Elmore to report the find. Elmore explains “When he arrived, he called me on Friday and said, ‘The tower is gone. I said, ‘What do you mean the tower is gone — are you sure you are at the right place?’ He said: ’No, the tower is gone. There are wires everywhere and it’s gone.” A Facebook post by the station says “They stole every piece of equipment out of the building, cut the guy wires to the tower and SOMEHOW managed to down a 200′ tower and take it from the property.”

The equipment was not insured, so the station has opened a GoFundMe to replace the equipment.
