KFHEWUI 03/06/24 7:58:24 PM #1:	Questions remain after a 200-foot radio tower was stolen in an Alabama town, knocking a local AM station off the air. The crime left the WJLX station's general manager, Brett Elmore, and the Jasper, Alabama, police department, blown away and confused. "I have been in the radio business, around it all my life and then in it professionally for 26 years, and I can say I have never heard of anything like this. I can say Ive seen it all now, said Elmore in a statement. When the tower was stolen, the Federal Communications Commission gave the AM radio station temporary authority to continue broadcasting on the FM side, but soon told them they were no longer allowed to broadcast. "It's been a nightmare," Elmore told USA TODAY. The station is a huge part of Elmore's life and history. His dad worked at the station in the 80s and he grew up running around the halls. The heartbreaking theft and subsequent shutdown caused Elmore sleepless nights while he figured out what to do next. "This is part of my fabric," said Elmore. "It's more than a job, it's part of my life." https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2024/02/19/alabama-radio-tower-stolen-station/72633875007/ The culprits have not been caught yet --- R.I.P.

Why would they put that effort in when they're not the subject matter of the story? This question would stand for a larger radio station, too. Indeed. While it might be nice to get a perspective from one of the handful of people still listening to an A.M. frequency radio station in 2024 purely for that emotional angle, its neither relevant to the news story nor would it have likely been worth the effort, as the reporters likely didnt even interview the radio station owner in person, much less travel down to that town to take a gander at the spot where the tower used to stand for themselves. Most likely they did an interview over the phone or through Zoom, as thats a lot more efficient than actually paying people to drive down there and back, using fuel in the process. --- "We're going to shake things up, Morgan.

I get your point, but I also feel like they mainly do that when there's no specific "subject" of the story, such as "Park X is about to be bulldozed," or whatever. In this particular case, there actually WAS a specific subject of the story: The guy who had his radio tower stolen. Thus, random interview subjects became much less necessary or even interesting, since you had somebody specific to interview. --- Seplito Nash, Smelling Like the Vault since 1996 Step FOUR!
