Anyone know which stations were off or remained on-air during the power failures?

Truth Be Told... If I were them I'd make sure I noted this last week in my public file since it's the BEST Public Service (silence) they've offered on that frequency in the days since country done left town! :-*
Maybe they scored brownie-points with the FCC now so they can break more regulations on a daily basis as they solicit donations ON-AIR for well-needed transmitter upgrades to seek compliance... Talk about a waste of a solid stick! Maybe they should have swapped calls with Sunbury PA's WKOK... seems more fitting... :

Bobby Wick(WYRS 90.7,102.3 ) had to keep 2 generators going for days at WDVR to keep them on the air. Bobby is finally back home. Bobby Wicks' don't grow on trees. The best the business. Good people and a great station.

From what I hear they lost yet another GM there (who was actually trying to improve the place) due to Kirkwood bouncing quite a few of his paychecks. (It's like a broken record there, same thing over and over and over.....) They are STILL off the air as of today Tuesday Nov 8th. (They probably didn't pay the electric bill or the tower rent (that has happened MANY times over the past few years)). Radio411, I agree with you, that silence on that frequency better serves the community of license, then the constant begging for money that probably just goes into owners pockets rather than to fix the place up.
I heard the reason they have been off the air for for over a week is because their transmitter got fried from the storm on Oct. 29th. Rev. Kirkwood better start hoping for pennies from heaven to start falling for a new Transmitter. In this case "Silence is Golden"
