12. Clear Channel's AM transmitter farm is down -

Edited on Mon Oct-22-07 04:20 PM by haele

It appears they went down around 0930 local time; couldn't get KLSD, couldn't get KSDO, - only Mexican and Xtian on the AM band. KSDO's news team apparently took over FM101.5 KGB (Classic Rock and Morning Zoos) to broadcast fire coverage.

I think their streaming also went down, I can't even stream 101.5 KGB from their site. Hmmm. Isn't there some FCC rules about stations transmitting unscheduled dead air?

It's scary to think that both KLSD and KSDO were supposed to be "emergancy broadcast stations" for San Diego County and when we have an emergancy, THEY'VE BEEN KNOCKED OFF THE AIR!!!???

Anyway, stay safe. Laz and I are watching the CBS affiliate and commiserate; we used to live off Mapleview and HWY 67 in Lakeside and remember the Cedar fire 4 years ago.
