Was told their ground system was damaged or stolen by copper thieves.

It is my understanding it included the transmission line and all the parts in the ATU taken.

Heard today that they expect it to take 30 days to get it back on the air.

After an almost a years silence I noticed today WEMM am is back on the air. The format appears to be syndicated gospel . It appears they're broadcasting from the same site in the west end.
They should have gone with a regional Mexican format then maybe their transmitter wouldn't be stolen again by the cartel.

I had not noticed that they were still off the air.
