AIR 107.2FM to Go Temporarily Off Air for Transmitter Upgrade

AIR 107.2FM will be temporarily off air on the morning of Wednesday 11th February, while essential upgrades are carried out to the station’s transmission equipment.

Director Jamie Lyones said: “The short interruption is necessary to allow engineers to install new equipment designed to improve both signal strength and overall sound quality for listeners tuning in on FM.

Engineers have estimated the work will take a little over a couple of hours to complete.”

This work is one of many scheduled improvements currently being undertaken at the station. The upgrades have been deemed important in maintaining the stability of the station going forward, ensuring a reliable service for listeners across the coverage area.

The new investment in transmission equipment is expected to deliver a far stronger, clearer quality of sound overall to listeners using FM devices, enhancing the listening experience once the station returns to air later in the day.

AIR has reassured listeners that the interruption will be brief and normal broadcasting will resume as soon as the upgrade work is complete, with the station promising to return “bigger and stronger than ever.”
