The metal cables that held up the tower have been laying on the ground for long enough that plants have grown over them then died in the winter.
Three foot tall plants have grown in front of the door of the equipment cabin that would have been trampled down if anyone removed the radio equipment recently. The cabin looks like it has been derelict for years.
The electricity meter is missing and the place where it should been looks like it has years of corrosion.
It is a muddy field with no signs of recent footprints or gouges that would indicate the tower was removed recently.
Anyone looking at the state of the site would think that the medium-wave AM station has been off the air for years.
The radio station had an FCC license that required they operate an AM transmitter. Now that the FCC has found out that they are not broadcasting on AM , the station is not allowed to continue on FM.

I'm not watching a 20 minute unedited shakycam video on the topic; can someone summarize?
