[BC] KTCK 1310 Dallas problems

[Chris Oradat]

I used to work for that cluster.  Those tower are VERY closely spaced, so if
one felled, it likely took out others.  Add to that, they are in a flood
plain.  I hope they are able to return to full power soon.

ALERT: Severe Weather Impacts 1310am!
Due to the severe weather that hit the Metroplex overnight Wednesday, 
The Ticket's 1310am signal is experiencing technical difficulties. While 
we continue to broadcast on 1310am and recify the problem, we also are 
currently broadcasting on 104.1fm in Denton and Collin county, and 
1700am in the Sherman-Denison area. We also continue to stream audio 
wordwide, right here on the Ticket.com. And if you have an HD capable 
radio receiver, the Ticket can be heard by tuning to HD 99.5-2.

Another Dallas area engineer advises 3 of the 4 towers of their array 
are damaged from high winds that went through in the early morning 
hours; they are transmitting on 1310 from the one undamaged tower, plus 
other places as the announcement above indicates. That's all I know.
