"Thieves Swipe 200-Foot Radio Tower from Alabama Station"
TL;DR Summary
Thieves stole a 200ft radio tower from WJLX, a radio station in Jasper, Alabama, forcing it to temporarily shut down after the FCC ordered it off air. The theft, which also included the station's AM transmitter, has had a significant impact as the property was uninsured and replacing the tower could cost between $100,000 to $150,000. The station is working to get back on air and believes surveillance video from a nearby poultry plant or witnesses may help identify the thieves.
