WDVX asking for listeners help to fix transmitter WBIR.com Updated: 8/13/2010 4:57:04 PM Posted: 8/13/2010 4:42:17 PM
http://www.wbir.com/news/local/story.aspx?storyid=130591&catid=2 WDVX will be able to replace a broadcast transmitter thanks to a grant from the Public Telecommunications Facilities Program, but they will need to raise some of the funds to make it happen. According to a release, in order to satisfy the grant match and purchase other equipment that is needed, the station needs to raise $11,000 on it's own. The station is reaching out to its viewers for help to receive the funds on August 25, 2010. The station's transmitter on Cross Mountain in Campbell County was damaged during a storm on May 5, 2010. Although the webcast remained, the station was off the air for five days with only few local broadcasts. The funds will allow the station to receive a new transmitter and antenna which is 40 feet higher than the old one for a clearer sound, transmission lines, surge protectors, and electrical work. _______________________________________________ Medianews mailing list [email protected] http://lists.etskywarn.net/mailman/listinfo/medianews
