KCRS-AM Off the Air

It must be a cut-throat world in the local for-profit news reporting business.  Case in point:  An AM talk radio station is off the air, which in itself would seem to be news, but there's not a mention of at any of the other local news outlets' websites.

A prospective listener would have figured out the station was silent after a few exploratory twists of the dial.  But he/she is left wondering why.  KCRS's own website explains it:  "KCRS-AM suffered a major transmitter malfunction and is expected to be off the air for several days until replacement parts can be shipped in and installed.  In the meantime, our listeners can still hear their favorite talk programming here on the website by clicking 'listen live.'"

Anyway, it's interesting that this was a not a reportable event at the other local news websites.
