Future Upgrades, Outages and Changes

In the next 3 months expect some hiccups in our broadcast signal as we make upgrades for hardening our main and backup transmitter sites. Here is a quick synopsis.
1. We have a new transmitter building for our backup in Duson. As of now I am moving all things into that building.
2. In the next few weeks I will turn off the HD signal so that transmitter can be moved to the backup site and then put in the analog mode so it can run as a backup while a new transmitter is installed into the main site in Maxie.
3. After a new main transmitter is installed in Maxie then I will move the old analog transmitter to the backup site in Duson.
4. All this should take a few months and you should expect no downtime on the analog signal, but the HD signal will be down for a while.
5. Please be patient as this will improve reliability overall for the future.
