"The tower carries public radio and television programming to a large portion of central Nebraska. Over-the-air service was knocked out, NET general manager Rod Bates said."
Radio-wise, it would appear to be KLNE-FM 88.5 Lexington NE, along with its associated TV and DT facilities and an NWS station:

There's a notice to that effect on the NET website, mentioning the outage at KLNE-TV/FM/DT:

Fybush wants this picture!
Here's a picture of the aftermath...
Looks like it will be a while before they're back at full power.

Much more information on this from the Morris (IL) Daily Herald, from the hometown of the crash victims:

Nothing here on a return to being on air for KLNE, but they interview the NET general manager about what happened...
