Stolen transmitter takes radio station off air
By CMU Editorial | Published on Wednesday 5 May 2010
Lanarkshire radio station L107 has gone off air after its transmitter was stolen from the roof of its building while presenter Mike Smith was broadcasting his lunchtime show inside.
An unnamed source later told Radio Today that the equipment, worth £50,000, had been taken by one of the station’s creditors. According to rumours, the station is currently £300,000 in debt and staff have complained of delays in being paid.
Strathclyde Police have said that they are investigating the theft. Meanwhile, a message on the station’s website simply reads: “Opps! … try back later”
