KUVO Off-the-Air, Repairs Scheduled
SPRTV would like to announce that FM/HD radio station KUVO is currently off-the-air. Unfortunately, electronics equipment owned by KUVO has unexpectedly failed and will need to be replaced. After obtaining the necessary repair gear this week, Gary, our VP of Engineering and Site Maintenance, and Colin, will attempt repairs this Saturday, Jan 28, weather and safety 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 over the last several days, 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 always stream KUVO’s programming...
Picture of Damage on Baldy
High winds during the holiday season caused the Old Head End shack to blow over and the receive antenna for KBCO to topple. The shack did not house any SPRTV equipment. It was being used by others. However, the damage to the antenna has caused an outage of KBCO. We will continue to keep you updated as repairs begin.
High Winds on Baldy Damage KBCO Antenna & Channel 10 Back to Full Power
Today Gary and our new engineer, Colin, snowmobiled up to the electronics site. They found the antenna that receives the KBCO signal from the front range on the ground. Minor damage to the antenna, but the tower needs repair. Needless to say, KBCO will be out until that damage is repaired. Gary and Colin will try to get up there this weekend to accomplish the repairs, but only if the weather allows them and it is safe to do so. They did manage to restore channel 10 digital TV to full power. Your signal should be as it was prior to the most recent problem. Our ISP still hasn’t restored our Internet service so the webcam is still stuck on an image from a few days ago. We don’t know when they will restore service. Gary took a number of...
Channel 10 Operating at Low Power
Channel 10, one of our digital TV offerings, is operating at low power. Probably the high winds did something to the antenna. Gary and Colin will be going up to the site tomorrow to evaluate, and hopefully correct, this problem, as well as deal with other problems caused by the weather. As usual, thanks for your patience.
The Power is Back On
The power outage has been corrected and we now have all of our stations back on the air. Unfortunately, our Internet Service Provider is still down, so our webcam is stuck on an old image. Hopefully they’ll correct their problem soon.
