When the lights went out, WHAS switched to HOSTAGE RADIO

from 50 years of Terry Meiners radio bits

During a heavy storm on April 4, 2025, parts of downtown Louisville suffered a massive power failure. WHAS studios are in the Fourth Street Live entertainment complex so everything went dark at 5:22 PM, the middle of drive time.Some way, somehow, the microphones remained online and connected to the system that feeds the WHAS transmitter in Eastwood, Kentucky.Soooo....Terry Meiners, Paul Miles, Joe Lincoln, and Billy Rutledge carried out our duties in the dark from the WHAS panic room in the back of the building.
