I just received an e mail from a friend in So Cal that the fire fighters have been evacuated from Mt. Wilson (LA) and that the tx sites will stat to burn by 7 PM by a huge forest fire., so it does not look good for TV & FM for LA.
It's important, I think, to understand what that site is like up there. The core of the tower farm, the area known as "Mount Alta," has no vegetation and has some pretty decently-sized fire breaks to separate it from the areas that are burning tonight.
That's not to say that there won't be damage, and that stations won't be knocked off the air, but there's some talk on message boards of the towers all melting and such, and I think - I hope! - that that's a little bit of overkill.
