The End Of Another Broadcast Day
For many years small local AM radio stations were the primary source of news, information and entertainment for the community. Most operated from sunrise to sunset. Many of these stations have signed off for the final time as their listeners are using more modern forms of communications and rarely listen to local radio broadcasts. As a result of low listenership, those stations cannot attract enough advertisers to pay the bills. Somehow, WEPG-AM in South Pittsburg, Tennessee is still hanging on, but it may not be too many more sunsets before the signoff announcements are made, the national anthem is played, and the transmitter is shut down for the final time.
