Public Radio station off air after storm rips antenna

North Country Public Radio has been off the air to listeners in Jefferson and Lewis counties since Saturday night, following a wind storm that knocked the antenna from a tower in Watertown.

Chief Engineer Robert G. Sauter said listeners in Watertown, Cape Vincent, Clayton, Carthage, Lowville and Lyons Falls were affected. A team from Wells Communications checked the damage on the State Street hill tower Monday afternoon. Service could be restored by today.
