[PVRCNC] AM 590 tower down

When I work on old radios I will listen to 570 or 850 when I check them out.   

570 has been off the air and I finally found out why.



There's been a gap on the local radio waves this week: "Country Legends," the Curtis Media Group-owned country-oldies station at 570-AM, is off the air. But it wasn't victimized by a format switch. Instead, Saturday's storm took down the station's 270-foot-tall broadcast tower.
"It was about two blocks from Earp's Seafood, so the same puff of wind got our tower," says station owner Don Curtis. "It's all twisted and torn up, and it will be about a month before it gets rebuilt because it's in a swamp. It takes a long time to rebuild something in a swamp."
