Re: WLBH (AM) and WLBH-FM --- Mattoon, Illinois

Dear Ms. Williams:
Both WLBH (AM) and WLBH-FM, licensed to Mattoon, Illinois, are off-the-air and
silent following a break-in at the stations' broadcast facility, the malicious
destruction of transmitting equipment, and the theft of numerous items of
broadcasting equipment... AM Control Room Console, FM Control Room Console,
Production Room Mixer, on-air computers, tape recorder/playback units, compact
disc players, dual cassette decks, microphones, earphones, etc. A return to
normal operation cannot be determined at this time.
Notification will be immediately sent to the FCC upon either or both radio stations
returning to the airwaves.
Yours truly,

James R. Livesay II
President
