Note some of the Santa Barbara Area Stations are back on the air after they went off the air due to storms in the state.

Several stations along the Southern California coast temporarily went dark due to the heavy storms that ravaged the area last week.

Last Wednesday (Jan. 11), rain storms knocked down power poles leading to a transmitter site on Gibraltar Road in Santa Barbara. As a result of the power outage, KDRW Santa Barbara (88.7) – which simulcasts Santa Monica College news/talk KCRW Los Angeles (89.9) – and a translator signal of California Lutheran University news/talk KCLU-AM/FM (1340/88.3) Santa Barbara, were knocked off the air. Two more Santa Barbara stations – James Evans modern rock KJEE (92.9) and KDB (93.7), which simulcasts University of Southern California classical KUSC Los Angeles (91.5) – were also reported by NoozHawk to have been affected by the power outage.

“The problem has been that rain caused two telephone poles to fall down, so we’re going to be on a diesel generator for some time,” tower operator John Franklin told NoozHawk. “The road is badly, badly undermined.”
