Following a weekend of tower demolition and reconstruction AM 1450 WROX’s General Manager Shawn McIntire is happy to announce “Clarksdale’s Hometown Station” has returned to full power.

A band of strong storms that rocked the Delta on May 6th caused extensive damage throughout the region, including destroying part of the AM 1450 WROX tower. That morning a 25 to 30 foot section of WROX’s broadcast tower was torn off by the high winds that accompanied the heavy rains.
 
Following the damage sustained to the broadcast tower engineers and tower crews worked around the clock to make repairs. During which time WROX was reduced to broadcasting at low power. McIntire says, “Thank you to the listeners who continue their support, and the local businesses who continue to advertise with Clarksdale’s Hometown Station. It’s only through the support of these businesses that WROX can continue to broadcast 24 hours a day. Playing Rock and Soul’s greatest hits, as well keeping the public informed with local and national news, in addition to programming unique to Clarksdale such as the Saturday Night Blues Block, featuring 2009 Blues Award winner Roger Stolle’s “Cat Head Delta Blues Program”. Thanks again for all your support” McIntire assures listeners “…there are more upgrades and surprises coming very soon…” to WROX.
