Copper Theft and Transmitter Damage Silence KFTI, by Lance Venta,
January 27 2026

Summit Media’s “Classic Country 1070” KFTI Wichita KS has been off the
air since January 16 following significant damage to its transmission
facilities. A filing with the FCC states that KFTI’s tower array was
damaged because of theft of copper components, compromising the ground
system and related infrastructure, while its transmitter experienced
substantial equipment failures and requires extensive repairs and
replacement of multiple components before operation can be restored.

KFTI, which utilizes Westwood One’s 24/7 Country programming,
continues to stream online. The station registered a 0.9 share in the
November 2025 Nielsen Audio ratings.

INSTANT INSIGHT: Nowhere on the station’s website does KFTI explain to
listeners that it is off the air. It also has no social media platform
where to inform listeners of how to find them as once again radio
attempts to just push its audience away`` Yet to check in daytime for
any other signal or KFTI resumed (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 9665-9670-9675, Feb 2 at 2325, awful roar in this area,

Just to clear things out:
It's Wlodzimierz Czarzasty, current Speaker of Polish Parliament (Sejm). 
He was a member of communist party (PZPR) from 1983 to the end of it's 
existence, 1990.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W%C5%82odzimierz_Czarzasty
Hardly a moral authority. Member of far left party which currently is an 
ally of rulling liberals, so he has a good press in official, goverment 
mouthpiece like PRES.
