It sure would be hard to crank up a diesel if no electrons were able to flow unless it was set up to use compressed air for starting.
There are still a few AM stations that have tube type transmitters as back up. Some of them work very well indeed they were only sidelined to save money on the electric bill and tube changes. The only problem is I don't know of any stations that have any tube production equipment left.
So if they could fire up the generator and the 40 + year old transmitter they would not have anything to feed it.
What I have been told it is an EMF pulse when the nuke goes off that fries the solid state junction. Most tube TV's have at least a diode for the detector so I guess that would go for sure so no video.
