What do you mean? Did they explain why they were off-air? I don't know. I turned it on after it was already back. But it's doubtful. Today's automated stations go on and off without a word said. It's not like the old days when a live jock was there to say "hey sorry folks. Our tower went out, but we're back now!" :)<P ID="signature">______________

They said that Randi Ellis (middays on the Hawk 97.5) would be part of the staff, not sure if she's joining Frank live or voicetracking from the Hawk.

Randi is the Program Director for Frank, so I would hope she would be based in Boyertown :)

From what I understand, they have no aux transmitter for now. This can be verified by the pictures on wynoradio.com. There are photos of the aux transmitter being dismantled and removed from the building. I'm sure there have to be plans to replace it. Their main transmitter is very susceptible to lightning strikes so they better get the aux online before summer!
