The station also broadcasts a Christmas Holiday basketball tournament, "The Greer's Ferry Lake Classic".
The station's other major contribution is its weather coverage. During the 2008 tornado outbreak and the winter of early 2009 ice storms, the station kept the northern region of the state up to date with information on emergency aid, shelters, and weather warnings leading up to these significant weather events.[citation needed]
The station lost the top 100 feet of its broadcast tower during the 2009 ice storm. Thanks to the efforts of tower crews, electricians, and station personnel, the station was off the air only a few hours. The tower was rebuilt a few weeks later with an all-new transmitter and antenna system, restoring its broadcast signal to the thirteen-county service area.[citation needed]
