Narrative:

Due to a planned relocation of the G/south antenna, the csg G/south for runway 5 was notamed OTS on mid-9/90 effective until 11/90. Over the past few days several pilots inquired about the lack of a G/south signal. Each time, I have checked and been assured by FSS that the NOTAM is still active. When I inquired as to whether other controllers were putting it on the ATIS, I was told by a supervisor that this was not necessary since aircraft on the ILS would be 'cleared for the ILS, G/south unusable.' I pointed out that multiple aircraft had made the inquiry while making visibility approachs and at lest 1 had inquired well before final, presumable while setting his navigation radios for the approach. I was finally granted the possibility that it wouldn't hurt to put it on the ATIS, but it really wasn't necessary. Still, tonight it was not put on the ATIS and a pilot inquired about it and said it was not on the NOTAM list provided by his company, a scheduled passenger commuter.

Title: GLIDE SLOPE OUT OF SERVICE NOT ON ATIS.

Narrative: DUE TO A PLANNED RELOCATION OF THE G/S ANTENNA, THE CSG G/S FOR RWY 5 WAS NOTAMED OTS ON MID-9/90 EFFECTIVE UNTIL 11/90. OVER THE PAST FEW DAYS SEVERAL PLTS INQUIRED ABOUT THE LACK OF A G/S SIGNAL. EACH TIME, I HAVE CHKED AND BEEN ASSURED BY FSS THAT THE NOTAM IS STILL ACTIVE. WHEN I INQUIRED AS TO WHETHER OTHER CTLRS WERE PUTTING IT ON THE ATIS, I WAS TOLD BY A SUPVR THAT THIS WAS NOT NECESSARY SINCE ACFT ON THE ILS WOULD BE 'CLRED FOR THE ILS, G/S UNUSABLE.' I POINTED OUT THAT MULTIPLE ACFT HAD MADE THE INQUIRY WHILE MAKING VIS APCHS AND AT LEST 1 HAD INQUIRED WELL BEFORE FINAL, PRESUMABLE WHILE SETTING HIS NAV RADIOS FOR THE APCH. I WAS FINALLY GRANTED THE POSSIBILITY THAT IT WOULDN'T HURT TO PUT IT ON THE ATIS, BUT IT REALLY WASN'T NECESSARY. STILL, TONIGHT IT WAS NOT PUT ON THE ATIS AND A PLT INQUIRED ABOUT IT AND SAID IT WAS NOT ON THE NOTAM LIST PROVIDED BY HIS COMPANY, A SCHEDULED PAX COMMUTER.
