We're on a station that's 17kW, 50kW EIRP. They have a 30kW genset. Then a 4.5kW EIRP station has a 100kW genset. Go figure.

Any station that's part of the EAS is supposed to have generator backup. I know of several that don't, because they're cheap bastards

The transmitter will run on A/C or transformer converted

We had a local station on back up generator (50kw) for 4 days here

for our equipment and the stations.

Check the power panel I believe they are 200 Amp Panels

Wow, how much generator would it take to run a 100kw radio station? Several times that I would assume?

    There are 9 radio stations out of service:
    TX – KJOJ-FM, KKTX, KUNO, KPRC, KKWV, KAYK, KZFM, KKBA and KEYS.
    KJOJ- - 100,000 watt FM (largest signal you can get)
     KKTX - 50,000 watt FM (pretty large signal)
    KUNO - 1000 watt AM station
    KPRC - 5000 watt AM station
    KKWV - 8500 watt FM station
     KAYK - 50,000 watt FM
    KZFM - 100,000 fm - glanced at their website, it had this on
    facebook :
    "Hot Z95 will be shutting down for the night at 6pm and will
    return tomorrow at 6am. We like many other South Texans are
    without electricity and are relying on generators to be on air.
    Some music is better than no music! We know AEP is working as
    hard as they can to restore power to our area. Until then we will
    do what we have to do."
    KKBA - 13,000 watt FM
    KEYS - well, i want those call letters LOL.
    1000 watt AM...

        9 radio stations out of service (up from 5 on Aug 26 report)
        6 more switching centers, 11 total out of service (up from 5
        on Aug 26 report)
        320 total cell towers out of service (up from 315 on Aug 26

        Will be interesting to see what the Aug 28 report shows,
        looks like they come out at 11:30 each morning
