A Christian radio station was knocked off the air after its tower was hit by lightning earlier this week.
The station, KSBJ 89.3 FM, has a main tower in Plum Grove, near Cleveland. It was hit at about 8 p.m. Tuesday and is operating at reduced power, the station said.
Typically, the station, which has a contemporary Christian music format, broadcasts at 100,000 watts, but is currently operating at only 50 watts.
The station said that crews are working to repair the problem, but that it will be several days until it will be completely fixed.
The station said that listeners can instead hear programming on their website, at www.ksbj.org.
