Alabama Radio Station Goes Silent as 200-Foot Tower Vanishes

WJLX-AM, a radio station in Jasper, Alabama, has been off the air since its 200-foot radio tower was stolen, along with other equipment. The station's general manager, Brett Elmore, filed a police report, but local authorities lack the information needed for a full investigation. The station has organized a GoFundMe campaign to raise $60,000 to get back on the air, and local broadcasting colleagues have offered to help find a temporary transmitter location. As of now, there are no suspects in the theft, and Elmore believes it was a professional hit.
