On May 16, 2019, a city construction crew accidentally hit a guy wire to the station's tower causing it to crash down and knock the station off the air. The station set up a temporary tower so it can operate at reduced power and the station continued to broadcast via streaming audio. The city is paying for a replacement tower.[2]
