A broadcast tower fell on Friday at 6am in Otero County at Longridge. The 100ft tower held equipment for several stations, including KWBQ and My50TV.
No pictures are available as of this writing. The broadcasters will be scrambling to get back on the air over the next several days.
Per the Almogordo Daily News, Station Manager Bill Eisner said he doesn’t know how long it will take to repair the tower, noting that it will depend on weather conditions at the mountainous site. A fund was set up to assist with getting the broadcasters back on the air. Donations can be sent to First National Bank, Attn: Vision Broadcasting Tower. The donation is tax deductible since the broadcasters supported are non-profit.
If any photos become available, we will add them to this post.
