Technical Difficulties in Jackson..

Over the weekend I noticed that Y-101 was off the air, it eventually signed back on but at very low power
WAPT TV was also off the air around the same time.
WIIN AM and FM are off the air the last time I checked. They fixed the audio back around July, but the last time I checked it was back to airing The Beatles with the right channel missing. Half the songs had no lead vocals or missing instruments again.
WSFZ 930 seems to have gone down the dumper especially at night. It used to sound good back in the seventies but now the signal is weak and can barely be heard in some directions much past the city limits at night. I sometimes listen to Rick and Bubba pre-sunrise and can barely pick it up, whereas it used to come in gangbusters in the past. Used to be 5,000 watts in the 70's but now it sounds like 1000 or less. The audio also seems weak and drops off at times.

Anyone know what the issues are with these stations?
 
WYOY and WIIN have a CP (Construction Permit) to move to a new tower site, which just happens to also be the site for WSFZ. Maybe they are all on temporary powers while the work is being done.
