One of KKOB AM 770 Albuquerque NM's towers was downed when struck by a balloon participating in the annual Hot Air Balloon Festival. The balloon was able to land safely and no injuries reported.
Here's a report from KOAT Channel 7 in ABQ.

Where are you located, in relation to local broadcast transmitter sites? Distance, terrain and structures in-between will always be factors. An indoor antenna will always be a compromise, never be as good as anything outdoors, but you'll have to work under those restrictions. There isn't much variet...

The compilation of all the WCBS and CBS Radio News sounders was great.
A very classy farewell, before the gates were opened to let in the barbarians.

That's a specialty audio book device from the American Printing House for the Blind. Not a "dime a dozen" vanilla MP3 music player. A search brings up many options including a user and repair manual. If it was gotten from APHB it could be handled by their warranty repair service, or they might have ...

Well this is a real bummer. I frequently listen to WCBS 880 at night. Levon Putney is the best newsradio anchor; I really will miss hearing his unique style.
I can rarely if ever hear WINS 1010.

Another Paramount property, WBFS-TV, Miami FL will also be affiliating with The CW.

That happened at least one additional time during Jeopardy.
WTF is the matter there?

Watching Jeopardy (Fri 6/7) on Loco 4 and the show airing is not a continuation of this week’s shows with yesterday’s champion. My friend in Boston says they are seeing the correct show in continuity. WDIV seems to have pulled some evergreen show off the server. Those Eminem F-bombs or the impending...

Just got my most recent Xfinity bill (Payment due mid-June) and my “credit” for not getting Bally Sports Detroit (since May 1st) has yet to be reflected on my bill. FWIW, Xfinity sent out this email on May 28: "Your bill credit is on the way Between May 28 and June 7, you’ll see a $8.30 Regional Sp...

I was watching WDIV off-air when the screen went dark. Switched over to xfinity and they were there, since they feed comcast via fiber, not OTA, so not comcast's fault, this time.

NPR = National Propaganda Radio. DPTV = Detroit Propaganda TV.

The 1950s called, they want their tired old tropes back.

Told ya! - "SolarMax" was coming! And not done yet by any stretch!
Hope you enjoyed the auroras.

I was a frequent, almost nightly listener to Dick Summer's unique shows on WBZ (1030) through the 1960s.
