4/07: KQET transmitter to go off air
The transmitter for KQET DT25 (Salinas/Watsonville) will go off the air Thursday 4/07 at apx 1pm for equipment replacement and maintenance. We estimate repairs will take around 4 hours, and hope to have the transmitter back on air around 5pm.
Comcast Cable customers should see no interruption in service. Other Cable, satellite, etc., service providers will restore their signals as soon as the transmitter is back up. Most digital sets and converter boxes will also auto-restore the signal, but a few Over the Air (OTA) viewers may need to rescan if the duration of the outage becomes “too long” for their particular tuner.
