WPAZ 1370 Transmitter Outage

DToTheJ

DToTheJ

I tuned into WPAZ's stream this morning and immediately noticed that they were broadcasting on the right channel only - because I heard nothing on the left channel. And I had other streams going at the same time that went out through both channels, so it's obviously a station issue.

Then Betsy, the morning show host, comes on to inform of an even bigger issue: the transmitter had somehow stopped working overnight, so as I write this, they're off 1370 at this time, while operating online.

I am not sure if the left channel situation is related to their transmitter failure... is it even possible? Or is it just a Murphy's Law kinda morning going on at 'PAZ?
 
They were back on the air around 7:05am with their old transmitter, noting that their signal may be weaker. The left channel of their stream was out before and after returning to the air.
 
their steam is wired 180 degrees out of phase, and has been from the start. that wild, super spacial, wide soundstage id a dead giveaway that on channel is reversed. either that or the other millions of streams, including youtube and pandora are wired wrong and wpaz got it right.
