Copper thieves strike radio station

A middle Georgia radio station is back to broadcasting after copper thieves knocked it off air. An engineer with rock station Q106 says the thief or thieves stripped copper from the station’s air conditioner, generator, transfer switch, and took all the electronics. The station in south Bibb County went off air around 9 yesterday morning and wasn’t back up until the afternoon. This is the third time in two months the station has been hit by a copper theft. The value of copper has increased in recent years, making it more attractive to thieves.
