I'm pretty sure that there was an accident related to dismantling the tower a few months ago.

The tower land was not included in the sale last year of WMID (referenced in this STA request from November):
So the "what gives" is something that is happening more and more often. The real estate is worth more than a tower site is.
There was also a post several days ago from someone in a near panic over it:

No idea about WMGM. No STAs on file.

Does anyone know why WHAT AM 1340 IS OFF THE AIR?
Does anyone know why WHAT AM 1340 is off the air? When I tuned in today I found them off the air. Also how come now with WHAT off the air, how come I could not get WMID from Atlantic City. Does it have anything to do with the new tower WMID is on? Is there a reason why WMID's 890 what signal...

The tower land wasn't included because it hadn't belonged to WMID or its owner for quite a while. The radio stations at the site were tenants until 2023, when they all had to move ahead of the planned demolition of the old tower.
As has been well reported in my NorthEast Radio Watch column and elsewhere, the site now belongs to Subcarrier Communications. It's actually not very valuable real estate - swampy land at the end of a dead-end street overlooking a busy arterial highway.

Ah, leave it to you, Scott, to know the pertinent details.

The only reason you think that is because I post sparingly, and only when I know I have something new and useful to add to the conversation...

I always thought part of the reason you post sparingly is that you are usually too damned busy to post more often ...
