WIBQ Transmitter Update - August 25th

WIBQ

We have better news for you today on our 98.5 WIBQ-FM transmitter.  After some lengthy repairs all day Tuesday until very late Tuesday night, WIBQ is back on the air at around 70% power.  This means you should have no issues in cities like Paris, Marshall, Terre Haute, or Clinton picking up our station.

Another part was found to be damaged during the lightning strike, and it will have to be replaced to get us back to 100% power.  So sometime Thursday evening, WIBQ will have to go off air again for a short period of time, and after that final repair is made, we should be back at 100 % power.

Kudos to our cheif engineer, Jerry Arnold, and Kevin Berlen for their hard work and long hours put in this week. 

Also, we would like to thank you again for your patience with us during the issue.  It's been a couple very frustrating days for us as well.
