WEGS 91.7 FM Remains Off Air

March 13, 2010

If you have been missing WEGS 91.7 FM on your radio dial, you are going to have to wait a bit longer to enjoy their programming.

WEGS 91.7 has been off the air since a lightning strike at the station’s transmitter in Milton; the station will need to replace the entire length of coaxial cable from the bottom to the top of the transmitter.

“The best case scenario on the station being back on the air is next Thursday,” Chris Paden, WEGS operations manager, said. The whole process will be delayed by a shipping error on the coaxial cable,  Paden said, with it not being shipped on time and it being shipped to Orlando instead of Milton.

WEGS is operated by Olive Baptist Church.

    Thanks for the info. I have been wondering! I listen to Adventures In Oddysey every day. I’ve been missing it. I thought there was something wrong with my radio.
