The Mighty 1090, the highest-rated sports talk station in San Diego and a fixture in the market for the last 16 years, went off the air just before noon Wednesday. The president of the company that operates the station said officials were trying to remedy the problem, but a program host said “there’s not a lot of optimism about our future as a sports radio station.” “We have lost our connection in Mexico and are working to get this resolved,” said Mike Glickenhaus of JMI-owned Broadcast Companies of America, which operates 1090-AM. “As you can imagine, this has my full attention, and there is nothing more to say at this time.” Glickenhaus said the station was available via its website and mobile app, although ESPN Radio programming was airing Wednesday instead of the usual local shows. However, it was announced late in the day that the station’s morning show will be back online and on the app Thursday. Whether the station’s two afternoon shows will follow was not known. (Update: Both shows were scheduled to follow what the morning show did.)
