    This is the best summary I could come up with:

    The station, WJLX, sent a landscaping crew to the site Friday morning for spring cleaning, only to find the 200-foot radio tower gone.

    When a crew member called the station’s general manager to break the news, he was in disbelief.

    When Elmore heard the door was left ajar, “that’s when reality was starting to set in that something bad had happened.”

    “There was a meeting yesterday between the owner and our investigators concerning the matter,” Jasper Mayor David O’Mary told NBC News on Thursday.

    “We requested a temporary authority to keep the FM translator on until we get the AM back on the air,” Elmore said on Thursday.

    “But unfortunately, this morning, I was notified the FCC denied our request to stay on air on the FM side, so actually, we’re about to go power down the transmitter.”
