ORIGINAL STORY:
TODAY'S TMJ4 is currently experiencing technical difficulties due to a power outage on Milwaukee's north side, affecting our signal on-air.
According to WE Energies, 19,000 customers were without power.
We are working as quickly as possible to fully get back on air and thank you for your patience at this time.
The outage is believed to be linked to a fire at a substation at 30th and Center.
Around 17,000 of the affected customers are in Milwaukee and 2,000 in Wauwatosa.
According to WE Energies, a line stopped working for ATC, a transmission that brings power into the city and may have sparked the fire.
