Townsquare Media’s KFIL/1060 (Preston) has returned to the air at reduced power following an April lightning strike.
FCC filings indicate KFIL went off the air April 11 due to extensive lightning damage. The station said in its initial request for special temporary authority to remain silent that its antenna tuning unit and transmission line suffered extensive damage.
A subsequent filing on May 23 says the station has been able to return to the air at about half of its normal 1kW daytime power. Repairs are underway to resume full-power operations.
The daytimer relays KFIL-FM/103.1 (Chatfield).
