Arkansas Station Says Its EAS Equipment Was Stolen Just Before National Test

EAS Box Gone

The Emergency Alert System equipment and a digital compressor at BIRACH Regional Mexican KTUV-A (LA PATRONA 1440)/LITTLE ROCK have been stolen from the station's transmitter location, the station's manager told ABC affiliate KATV. 

The theft was discovered, manager ALBINO GUTIERREZ said, when he and the engineer went to the transmitter shack to prepare for last week's national EAS test.  He told KATV that he believes a competitor stole the equipment to put the station at risk for a fine for missing the test.
