"* WI Racine WBJX 1460 is silent as a result of vandals knocking down its
tower. The station hopes to be back on from a temporary facility by the end of
this week (Tim Cuprisin/Milwaukee Journal Sentinel)"

Here is the news story from Tim Cuprisin's 8/26/03 column:

WBJX GOES SILENT
Racine's WBJX-AM (1460), southeast Wisconsin's only 24-hour Spanish-language
radio outlet, is out of commission after vandals knocked down its tower.

Owner Robert Jeffers tells Inside TV & Radio that he hopes to have a
temporary tower up and the station back on the air by the end of the week.

Jeffers discovered that the tower had been toppled Monday morning when he
noticed WBJX wasn't broadcasting.

"In the last month, we've been having several cases of vandalism, and I've
reported each one of them to police," he says.

He doesn't have any idea who's targeting the station.

"Usually, if it's kids, they try once or twice and they give it up," he says.
