Nasty. If I remember right, the Clear Channel radio cluster in Syracuse (WSYR, et al) had exactly the same thing happen a few years ago.
Some of the comments on the video are beyond asinine, but not surprising. It wouldn't be a big shock to hear that they've been taking abusive listener calls. As if dealing with a disaster like this isn't bad enough...
