KBSA is currently off the air as technicians work on the site to effect repairs to both our satellite equipment- which is how we normally transmit from the studios to our various transmitters - and to our back up audio which has stopped because the the cable line from the internet provider was damaged. They have to run that line over a quarter of a mile or so, and their tech told us they were sending a truck crew to do so. As soon as they complete their work, we can get the audio back up within minutes. We appreciate your patience and remind you that you can listen via our website or via our app at any time. Thanks for your support!
