A tornado that moved through Eastern Iowa on Friday, March 31, knocked down the tower of iHeartMedia’s KKRQ/100.7 (Iowa City-Cedar Rapids).
A photo posted by Johnson County Emergency Management shows the tower broken in pieces, now laying on the ground.
FCC records show the 497-foot tower in rural Solon was constructed in 1983. It was owned by Vertical Bridge CC FM, LLC.
The Classic Rock station, known as “The Fox,” continues to stream online and said in a Facebook post on the night of the collapse that it is working in establishing a temporary transmitter site.
The March 31 storms caused widespread damage in Iowa and much of the central U.S.
