The Ice Storm Power Watch

Interesting that the guy in the studio wasn't even aware that it fell. Every directional antenna I've seen would have shut the transmitter down in a heartbeat if a tower fell.

Not necessarily. Depends on how "important" the tower is to the pattern, how much power it has going into it. I have seen towers removed from a pattern, but the station stayed on the air. Reflected power came up on the transmitter some with the change, but there wasn't enough power going into the missing tower to throw the impedance far enough out to shut down the transmitter.
 
They were listening to the FM
