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.

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.
Happy New Year!
From our family to yours… have a happy, healthy, wealthy, and loving New Year.
POWER OUT at the SITE!!
This morning, December 31, 2011, the power went out at the site. We are monitoring the situation and will keep you informed. Our power originates from a neighborhood at the base of Baldy and that’s where the problem is. The SCAlert system and Summit Daily News have reported widespread power outages throughout the Breckenridge area today due to very high winds. Summit County remains under a high wind warning until 5 pm, Dec 31.
Webcam on Baldy Mountain Down
Our webcam on Baldy Mountain is down and is not transmitting images to our website. Today, we verified that the problem is being caused by an Internet outage. We have been in touch with our ISP and they assured us they are aware of the problem and are doing everything possible to correct it. We apologize for the inconvenience and hopefully withing the next few days you can once again be enjoying our beautiful sunrises and sunsets as viewed from 12,600 feet.
