Storms take their toll on Alabama broadcasters.

I'm hearing that there's been some damage to some central Alabama broadcasting properties due to the historic tornado outbreak on April 27th.

Folks on Radio-Info are covering the outages.

All the WVUA properties are off the air as of this evening.  This includes WVUA-CA in Tuscaloosa, WUOA in Birmingham, WDVZ-CA Moundville and WJMY-LP Demopolis.

One of WAGG's two towers is down at the Birmingham Fair Park.

The WTXT tower northwest of Tuscaloosa is reported to have collapsed.  The station is running 500 watts from an alternate site.

Check that link above to see if anything else pops up.
