Public radio off air after transmission line failure
A broken transmission line 1,700 feet up a radio tower west of Walker knocked Iowa Public Radio off the air in Eastern Iowa for at least a week. The line feeds KUNI 90.9 FM and stations in Dubuque Quad Cities and Des Moines. A Duluth crew must climb the tower and fix the line, requiring two to three days of safe weather. WSUI 910 AM carries a daytime schedule identical to KUNI in parts of the region.
