SPRTV is happy to report that Gary and his technical crew believe they are close to restoring FM station KBCO; with the station potentially going back on-the-air sometime this weekend. If successful, this would be the 4th visit up Baldy to repair the damage from high winds back in early January, that toppled a modular building and an antenna support tower. After 3 visits, Gary and his crew have been able to dismantle and move the damaged support tower, install a new temporary support tower,  remount the KBCO receiving antenna and point it towards Denver. The final repairs are purely electrical and not mechanical in nature, and will take place in the (undamaged) SPRTV electronics shack on Baldy. SPRTV again apologizes for any inconvenience, and would like to thank...

SPRTV reports that FM station KBCO is still off-the-air, pending repairs after the receiving antenna and supporting tower were damaged by high winds.  Please check our blog for additional updates as they become available. SPRTV again apologizes for any inconvenience, and would like to thank all our KBCO listeners for their patience. We’d also like to take the opportunity to remind everyone that you can always stream KBCO’s programming...

UPDATED … SPRTV is happy to announce that Gary, our VP of Engineering and Site Maintenance, and Colin, will attempt repairs to radio station KBCO this Sunday, Jan 29, weather and safe travel up Baldy permitting.

SPRTV again apologizes for any inconvenience, and would like to thank all our KBCO listeners for their patience.

UPDATED … SPRTV would like to announce that FM/HD radio station KUVO is currently off-the-air.  Electronics equipment owned by KUVO has unexpectedly failed and will need to be replaced. Unfortunately, significant delays are expected in obtaining the necessary repair equipment (which was ordered right away). Consequently, we now estimate the earliest that repairs can be attempted is in early Feb, weather and safe travel up Baldy permitting. Note these technical issues are not related to other station outages caused by wind damage on Bald Mountain back in early January. SPRTV again apologizes for any inconvenience, and would like to thank all our KUVO listeners for their patience. We’d also like to take the opportunity to remind everyone that you can...
