WQEM 101.5 in Columbiana which simulcasts WGIB has been off the air for about two weeks now. Anyone know why? I just tuned into WGIB at 91.9 and there is no mention of WQEM in the TOH ID. In the past, both stations were given during the legal ID.

WQEM Columbiana
- Thread starter passtheword
- Start date
Nothing has been filed noting the station is off the air, so I can only speculate that they finally realized what a waste of an allocation it is and turned it off. That, or it's off related to the issues surrounding W15AZ, which has been off the air for a long time due to loss of tower lease. It's recently begun operating via STA from the WQEM tower which is only a few miles away. So it's possible WQEM has been off for engineering work.
WQEM is now back on the air.
