Fire at WWBX & WABI-AM



WABI got back on the air first yesterday, both stations are operating from
the WABI transmitter site on WIlson Street in Brewer.  The B97 van is parked
out front with a remote studio set up.  Channel 5 did a live shot there last
night at 6, and they said a trailer would be moved in today.

The BDN doesn't like to talk about radio, but there is brief mention at the
bottom of the article about the building fire.
