Fun morning here at KTPB.
Our transmitter seems to be broken. It fritzed out 2 days in a row in the afternoon. We are running on backup equipment and duct tape today. We also have a broken CD player in the control room.
Broadcasting still seems like an extended improvisation.
Since the sale of our station is pretty much all done except for the paperwork and the official announcement, we aren't really given much help in keeping things running.
It isn't like there was much of a budget around here before.
I finally got a computer in my office that can do more than email just a few weeks ago. I think that was just since we are soon to be out the door, and they can give it to someone else at Kilgore College when I'm gone.
It really has been a bit depressing working in this office. Since I've been here I've had a choice of any broken chair I want.
I had hoped to get us webcasting when I first got here, but the computer issue I mentioned before prevented that.
Local radio is all but dead in America from what I can tell.
EMF and KLOVE have been able to take over such a large number of struggling college and public stations because of the regulatory law changes and the decreased funding of the schools.
