David,

It obviously isn't making them anymore or WLGC would be back on the air
already. If a company has money and the station is making money.. it doesnt
take but maybe a few weeks to a month to get a transmitter fixed or a new
one bought.

The stream has no local content, so they are just letting the computer chug
along since the AM isn't on the air.
