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 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 online.
