Are these fires as widely spaced as the news media make them appear to be? Widespread arson was a tactic planned by at least one Islamic terrorist group.
Will talk radio go off the air?
The Fairness Doctrine?

We’ll all need to be going to satellite radio as zer0 will be shutting the airwaves.
Of course, this assumes that the envirowackos don't get in there with lawsuits trying to prevent the replacements. How would they do this? Well, firefighters were up there doing some firefighting, so the ground got wet. Voila! intermittent wetlands at to top of Mt. Wilson! Don't laugh, they would try it.
I believe you!
“at to” = “at the”
That’s a shame. (In my best Seinfeld voice.)
Unless it gets the cable going up the tower, ABC should stay on the air.
Yhry have diesel back up generators, the structure is a type 1 building and they transmit all peograming by microwave from Prospect and Talmadge.
Their only problem is that if anything goes wrong they don’t have personel on site and they have to drive up there freom L.A.
KFI 640 (Rush Limbaugh) broadcasts from a tower in La Mirada, my home town.

Hope it works. And I pray you’ll be ok!
Oh, the irony!
“This electronic site has some very high-power FM stations, including the following:”
I see KTWV listed.
I get it via online streaming for their smooth jazz format,
when I am not listening to the talkers.
I highly recommend this online site for streaming ANY radio formats:

Anything that one could possibly want to hear can be directly linked from this site.
These fires will play hell with the CA budget problems.
“Are these fires as widely spaced as the news media make them appear to be? Widespread arson was a tactic planned by at least one Islamic terrorist group.”
