How long were they broadcasting without a tower?
How were they not already aware that there was dead air? Was anyone out there even listening in the first place?
A shocking number of radio stations do not listen to their own broadcasting.
Source: A radio listener that has looked for the radio station’s phone number, while wishing an employee was listening and could just shout at the DJ about their open mic, dead air, and other obvious mistakes.
Its all commercials now anyways. Of course no one is listening.
Screaming into the void.
Thumbnail is misleading, here’s a real picture
Ewwww, Amp links
Lol, it’s cool. Sync automatically removes them.
Pirate radio is becoming more serious.
You wouldn’t steal a 200-foot tall radio tower
How do you even steal a frikin 200ft radio tower?
1ft at a time
Crackheads. – “look at all that copper!!”
And what do you do with it? I doubt scrapyards are going to take it after this news…
I doubt scrap yards that pay crackheads really care about stolen scrap.
preppers?
Fuckin Video
I’m both appalled and surprised that I understood this reference instantly.
Please explain.
You see, Video killed the radio star.
Unironically, the first music video that MTV showed.
Let’s go steal the airwaves.
C’mon, steal the noise…
Steal the ruckus!
I read this comment as I was swiping away and had to come back to upcote you.
That’s some Money Heist shit
When we heard about this at lunch, my coworkers and I double-checked eBay and Craigslist to see if it was up for sale. We wanted it (and the transmitter which was also stolen) to set up our own pirate station.
It was not listed, sadly.
My guess: people stole the metal to sell to scrappers.
