Reduced signal quality, tower painting

Have you looked out your back window this spring and thought about how much that deck or shed needs a new coat of paint? That's the thought we had when we looked at our antenna tower.

This week, WRVO is taking a few days to paint our 403-foot tower. We'll occasionally need to reduce power for the safety of the painters, which may result in brief periods of reduced signal quality. The painting is tentatively scheduled for Wednesday, May 6 through Friday, May 8.

If you're having trouble getting a good signal, you can still listen to our online stream -- just choose the WRVO-1 option when you click on the blue "Listen Live" button at the top of this page. Weather permitting, the painters will be finished by the end of the day Friday.

Thanks for your patience, and thanks for listening to WRVO Public Media!
