FM Signal – Temporary interruption

Posted November 29, 2021 by Dave Stroud & filed under Uncategorized.

We have some important news to share with the Herd and our loyal listeners.

Beginning Sunday, December 5th, KOWS will temporarily suspend broadcasting from Occidental on 92.5 FM. Our hosts, the Occidental Arts and Ecology Center, are repurposing the site where we’ve housed our antenna for over 14 years and we will be forever indebted to them for their generous community spirit, grace and patience.

The change will mean that our FM signal will be off-air for a short time. While we don’t have the exact date, we are hoping that we will be back on the FM airwaves by late December or early January while the licensing paperwork, internet and equipment relocation occurs. During that time, you will still be able to listen to us on the web at kowsfm.com/listen or you can also stream us on your smartphone using the KOWS app (which you can download to your smart device from that same web site).

Stay tuned. A bright future lies ahead.
