Their transmitter's been on but broadcasting silence since the day before Halloween...

I see them posting on Facebook like nothing's going on, no updates on the problem.

As for their website, it's giving a domain not connected error message. https://urbanoldies985fm.com/


Anyone know what's up? They didn't respond to the email I sent them the other day letting them know about the silence.
 
It was fixed today. Once again playing classic soul and oldies with no bass.
 
It's now had another week of dead air, probably just another technical hiccup that goes un-noticed for a while? Their Facebook page has a post from 3 hours ago.

I did contact their email a day or two ago (urbanoldies985[@]gmail[dot]com) but no reply or repair.
 
They made a Facebook post a few days ago on the KPPZ station's 5th anniversary.

"... We would like to thank all of u for your support and patience thru our technical issues ( like we are experiencing now).
There are many good things on the horizon as we have been blessed with a new studio location.
And with that, comes some new programming elements, primarily live on air personalities. ..."


As of right now KPPZ is still broadcasting silence.
 
Now completely off-air.

[edit] I take that back, it's off/on/off/on, every few minutes it will change state. I'm guessing problems with it staying on the air, and/or the automatic shutoff kicks in to prevent overheating.
