    Steve Lehto speculated they might have done it just to get the program off the air when he covered this story. He also mentioned the equipment would sell for practically nothing, so it was probably motivated more by the financial damages the station would incur than what they’d be able to sell the equipment for.

    I’m inclined to believe him as someone who worked in 6 radio stations across his lifetime
