Transmitter Maintenance until 5pm on 3/11

Our engineering team is continuing to work hard to eradicate the gremlin infestation in our transmitter tower, but in the meantime you may hear bursts of static in the analog signal this afternoon.  You can continue to listen to static free WKNC all afternoon through our webstream, which will not be affected by the maintenance.  Baseball fans fear not, our engineers will have everything back to normal in time for NC State to take on NC A&T at 6:30.

Unable to listen to WKNC on the radio?

WKNC's normal radio siginal range

Have you been unable to listen to WKNC on your radio recently?

Our engineers tell us that is because our transmitter has been operating at "reduced power" since Sunday, February 8, 2009.

What this means in plain English is that our radio signal isn't going out as far as it used to. My heart sank when I heard this too but our engineers are hard at work on it. Sometimes you might hear some static when they are up on top of DH Hill library seducing the transmitter. We should be back up to normal range soon.

In the meantime, show us your love and listen online at http://wknc.org/listen/
