Double Z Broadcasting’s KDVL/102.5 (Devils Lake) has requested special temporary authority to transmit at 1.6kW ERP, rather than its licensed 100kW, after a fire at its transmitter site. The filing states that KDVL is using a backup transmitter and that a new transmitter has been ordered.
Digital Syndicate Network’s KDKT/1410 (Beulah) reports that it returned to full daytime power of 1kW on Dec. 27. The station had reported in October that it was at reduced power due to a transmitter failure.
South Dakota
Northwestern Media’s KNWC/1270 (Sioux Falls) has returned to full daytime power of 5kW directional after resolving a problem with one of its towers. KNWC’s 2.3kW directional nighttime facility had not been affected.
Wisconsin
Audacy’s WMYX-FM/99.1 (Milwaukee) reports that it returned to full power of 50kW on Dec. 11. The station had reported earlier this year that it was making antenna repairs.
