Dead Air

[iceman07]

Around 12:15am several stations in Charleston went to dead air.

Coast 92.5 (Apex)
Star 99.7 (Apex)
96 Wave (Apex)
Newstalk 94.3 (Clear Channel)
Y 102.5 (Clear Channel)
Weasel 103.5 (Clear Channel)
104.5 (Clear Channel)
The Bridge 105.5

It's been over 2 hours and none has come back on yet. Any idea on what caused this?

Dead batteries in your radio?

Sounds like an off-air for maintenance period. I'd have to check the maps, but if all these stations transmission sites are part of the same antenna farm, they may have gone off for RF safety reasons while work was being done.
