WRMI still has no power at transmitter site

WRMI General Manager Jeff White has posted the following update on the station’s website:

“Hurricane Wilma hit South Florida on October 24 and has caused extensive damage throughout the southern part of the state - particularly in the Miami and Fort Lauderdale areas.

“Electrical power was out at our offices in Miami until last Friday, Oct. 28. We still have no power at our transmitter site in Hialeah. Therefore, we are off the air for the moment, including our Internet streaming audio. Florida Power and Light is working to restore power in the area of our transmitter site, but there are many power lines down, and they estimate it could take up to two more weeks to restore power - although it could be sooner. Additionally, we had some serious antenna damage, but we hope to make those repairs while we are waiting for the power to return. We thank our listeners and clients for their patience, and we will be back on the air as soon as possible.”
