WHOW''s BIG 1520 AM signal will leave the air at 3 o'clock this afternoon so that repairs can be made to the tower's strobe system.

The tower took a lightning hit July First and tower crews will be installing a new strobe system this afternoon causing the service outage.

WHOW's 92-point-3 FM signal in Clinton and 106-point-5 FM signal in Normal-Bloomington, as well as WEZC 95-point-9's signal, are not affected by this WHOW-AM service outage.

Thanks for your patience as we repair our tower strobe system after this summer's lightning damage.
