A local radio station is asking the community to help them get back on the air— heavy winds last week blew down their radio tower and antenna.
The Rock Community Radio is a nonprofit community radio station that serves Morro Bay and Paso Robles.
Last Wednesday, the station’s founder, Hal Abrams, said he got a call that the high winds had knocked down their antenna.
“Our antenna was undamaged but the entire tower collapsed,” Abrams said.
The damage knocked out the signal for Morro Bay.
To get back on the air, they need to find a new location for the tower there, though Abrams said that could take a lot of time and money. They’re depending on donations to fund the rebuild.
The station is still broadcasting in Paso Robles where they have another tower.
