PANAMA CITY BEACH, Fla. (WJHG/Gray News) - Security cameras captured a man vandalizing broadcasting equipment at a Gray Television station in Florida, taking its channels off the air, WJHG reported.

Video shows the person severing and removing cables from nine satellites around 9:30 p.m. Sunday outside WJHG’s offices, taking its eight stations off air.

Crews worked all day and into the night Monday to make repairs and get them back on the air.

A WJHG employee first noticed signals were out Sunday and went outside to check. The employee said he found a man he didn’t recognize near one of the satellite dishes.

5. Video looks more like he's got a grudge against the station.
