WPMI 15 and Clear Channel Mobile

P

Poledo

What's up with WPMI? Both WPMI and WJTC went off the air durring Katrina. WPMI got back up a couple hours later with a camera looking over the sholders of the DJs at WKSJ and this same shot has been on for about 12 hours. It looks like a webcam shot. WJTC had an open carrier for hours but now is showing WPMIs radar.
 
Is WPMI still even on the air at all? According to the National TV board, their studio was on generator power and their tranny was destroyed when it was struck by lightning.
 
Yes WPMI is still on the air and their signal is just as strong as ever. They were off the air for no more than an hour or so in the middle of the storm. They were still broadcasting, but the picture and sound were blank. WJTC was the same. Today WJTC is back to their normal programing but WPMI is still showing a studio-cam shot of the Clear Channel storm alert net from the WKSJ 94.9. I would guess that WPMI lost their studios in Katrina.

WPMI is back on, and at their TV studios--so everything must be hunky-dory broadcastwise. <P ID="signature">______________
Why don't you ask yo' mama for a cute closing signature?</P>
