The weekend ice storm took its toll on WKHQ-FM’s radio tower. The 630-foot structure collapsed Sunday night, March 30th, due to the weight of the ice. The tower is located in Charlevoix County just northeast of East Jordan.

On Monday morning, they posted on Instagram, “We are working to figure out how we can get back on the air as soon as possible.”
