ALL JOURNAL STATIONS DEAD AIR

What happened Thursday night? They were all off the air for at least an hour (if not longer), WWST, WKHT, WMYU. Power outage?
 
That would be my guess. Earlier in the evening 99.1 was out for about 35 minutes as well. Lot of lightning right around that time. I'm sure 99.1's trasmitter got hit because their AM signal was still on, but with Journal and all of them being out, I was thinking that they must have gotten bitten at the source. I know there were outages in the entire West Hills area, so it may have gotten something in their system.

Around 9:09pm Thursday night I got a txt from someone at JBG indicating they'd been off the air almost 2 hours, at that point, due to a power outage.
 
Since a station I am responsible for was mentioned, I'll chime in.

99.1 was relieved of a UPS Thursday night by the storm. But the remote control, STL receiver, Optimod processor, silence alarms, and optillator were relieved of power until I could get to it with another UPS. The generator on site was up and running, however.

Lightning doesn't discriminate as to whom it hits.
