SC Radio: Freak Accident Silences WSPG In Spartanburg

A freak accident early Saturday morning has left radio tower a broken mess across the building housing WSPG 97.1 FM translator / 1400 AM ESPN Sports knocking the station off-air.

It see two workers hired by a nearby homeowner were removing tree limbs when all or part of a tree landed on a guide wire supporting the tower. The guide wire was pulled from the ground, ripping with it the tower.

The station was expected to be off-air  for at least a few days while damage is assessed and equipment repaired.

WSPG feels fortunate to be surrounded by a wonderful array of engineers, technicians, employees, listeners and clients who all just want to help them  get back on the air. They couldn't offer a timeline.

The station will keep everyone informed via social media and website.
