The OKâlaKatiget Society’s Radio transmitter in Nain has been down now since around 3 pm on July 4, 2018.
OK Radio contacted a technician the following day to try and relieve the problem.
Only to find out that the transmitter is broke.
We were told that the technician will possibly only be able to make it in on Wednesday July 11.
An email was sent to us stating that CBC will be replacing antennas on the tower at the transmitter site.
This work will start tentatively anytime after July 16, 2018 for approximately a week.
The CBC and the OK Society transmitters will have to be turned off periodically for safety reasons when workers are on the tower.
OK Radio will have more information on this matter when it becomes available.
