JONESBORO, Ark. (AP) _ Three Jonesboro radio stations are back on the air after
copper thieves disrupted operations and damaged the transmitter building and a
backup generator.
The outages affecting East Arkansas Broadcasters stations KIYS, KIYS HD2 and
KBTM were discovered about 1:20 a.m. Monday.
EAP Chief Operating Officer Scott Siler told The Jonesboro Sun the stations returned to the air about 9:00 Monday morning.
Damage to the building and generator is estimated at $80,000.
The Craighead County Sheriff’s Office reports the wires were cut and were
pulled from the ground and the building by a truck using either a rope or a
cable.
