Whisnant’s Office Fire likely Arson
The Charlotte (NC) Observer is reporting that the fire that destroyed the Whisnants’ office several days ago was likely due to arson. The building housed both the Whisnants’ office and a radio station owned by the family (Jeff, brother John, and father John Sr.), WCIS-AM (760).
Since the building housed both the radio station and the Whisnants’ musical group’s office, they also lost about 3,000 of the Whisnants’ CDs/DVDs in the fire. Fortunately, the building was insured; the Whisnants hope to get the station back on the air as soon as possible, maybe even by the end of the month.

Hey, Daniel, you’ve been working too hard!
The fire wasn’t “several weeks ago.” It was last Friday!! I am very grateful to learn that they were covered by insurance!

I meant to type “several days ago.” Thanks for catching that–I’ll go fix it.
