Missing in Alabama: A Radio Tower, and ‘The Sound of Walker County’


A 190-foot radio tower in Jasper, Alabama, vanished, possibly stolen by thieves, leaving WJLX off the air. The community, reliant on the station for local news and weather alerts, is deeply affected. Despite broadcasting online, the station's reach has diminished, and its future remains uncertain. With the tower uninsured and the cost to replace it high, the station manager is determined to keep WJLX alive. The peculiar theft has sparked curiosity and concern across the city, with residents rallying to support the station.
