KTSU Off-Air

K

KTN Corp

I first noticed this yesterday when KTSU should have been booming around the UH campus. On Tuesday at 3:00 pm in Downtown Houston, static. As I was driving home last night, I was able to get KAMU on I-10 and Eldridge. I checked at 7:30 pm this evening while walking outside in the UH campus and I only got static.

It seems that they have been off the air for the whole week. Any word on what happened?
 
I noticed this about 2:45 today what is up??

Maybe UH is becoming the CC of public radio. ;D

And why would you think that UH would knock KTSU off the air? If UH was buying the station--and I don't think they're interested--it would've been publicized by now. KTRU is gone--DEAL WITH IT!
 
Station is still off the air

It would make a fine candidate for the student-run radio station; lower ERP and HAAT = less notoriety. Its location near the campus delivers flawless signal strength all over campus (to the point that some receivers are overloaded). Too bad Texas law prohibits what most other states allow their universities to do. But who wants an unprecedented third (non-comm) station to deal with?

In case you didn't notice, this thread is a out KTSU, which is NOT at Rice. No one said that UH would knock KTSU off the air - maybe that they had acquired the right to run it like they did the Rice station.

Why are you so upset?
 
While KTSU and its IBOC sidebands are off, we have a shot at hearing KQLC 90.7 in Sealy. Could hear it faintly at my Cy-Fair location earlier this evening.
 
Hope they come back soon. KTSU is one of the better things about Houston radio, at least for classic soul fans.
 
It's always possible the outage is heat related, or even theft of metal since those crimes seem to be rampant these days.

I remember their engineer saying awhile back that they had a tower project of some sort coming up, but I haven't talked to him lately. This is probably planned; not that you can tell from their website, which was last updated in July 2010.
 
It is back on but the signal seems a little weaker than before listening on my home stereo tuner
