The Dickinson Press says the two stations went off the air Wednesday evening when their broadcasting tower northeast of Dickinson collapsed after the ground beneath it shifted. The shifting took place on an anchor that pulled the tower down. ?There?s cracks up there and it almost kind of looks like an earthquake.? the Clear Channel business manager told the paper.
The incident is believed to have been caused by saturated soil. Parts of the tower landed on a nearby transmitter building, causing minor damage. The tower isn?t salvageable, since it broke into several parts on its way down, Glaser said. Jeff Glaser, Dickinson Clear Channel Radio business manager said ?There?s pieces all over the place. That thing is busted, bent, twisted, everything. It?s gone."
