All I want for Christmas is my Country oldies back

Bookmark and Share

Today marks the halfway point of November -- the month that Raleigh's "Country Legends" oldies station WQDR AM was supposed to be back on the air after losing its broadcast antenna to a tornado back in April. Alas, there's still nothing but dead air at 570-AM, which will probably remain the case for at least another month.

"Mid-December is my best guess right now," says station owner Don Curtis. "We're waiting on one last piece of equipment for it, which we were supposed to have in mid-September. But we still don't, so we're still not back on the air."
