Fire at WVIP know as studio in the round, September 1997 This week's news begins in NEW YORK, where a small Hudson Valley radio station burned to the ground early Wednesday morning. The fire at WVIP (1310) in Mount Kisco began sometime before 1:30 in the morning, but was not reported immediately because nobody was at the daytime-only station. It took firefighters more than three hours to put out the flames, and by then WVIP's famous round studio building was a total loss. WVIP's 82 year old founder, Martin Stone, was taken to a local hospital for observation for high blood pressure after watching the station burn down.
Amazingly, WVIP was back on the air later Wednesday morning, operating from makeshift studios in the nearby transmitter building. It's a tribute to the local broadcasting community that engineers and managers from other local stations have been pitching in almost nonstop since the fire to help get WVIP back on the its feet with a temporary studio and automation system. We'll keep you posted over the next few weeks as WVIP recovers. Next month marks the 40th anniversary of this pioneering suburban station.

I put them back on the air while the fire department still putting out the fire.
I used the transmitter building building as a makeshift studio.
