Heavy snow and ice caused a broadcasting tower to collapse today for at least one local TV station, and several others were affected.
A WNEP-TV Channel 16 tower collapsed just before 7 a.m. due to icing and strong wind conditions, according to the station's Web site. WNEP engineers are in the process of restoring the signal to all cable systems and satellite services by digital signal.
WNEP-TV is currently on air on Comcast, Echostar and Service Electric, but as of 2:40 p.m. had not restored service for DirecTV.
WNEP-TV has two towers on the mountain; one is analog and the other is digital. The analog tower was the one that collapsed. The digital signal is off the air as well, but crews are working to get that back on the air as soon as possible, according to the Web site.
