Davis Media Access (DMA) reports that its channel 15 on the Comcast system is still off the air following damage to a piece of equipment during the weekend storms. The DJUSD's Channel 17, which also operates out of the DMA facility, is on air with satellite programming but has also had its regular program schedule disrupted.
According to DMA staff, their facility at 1623 Fifth Street was without power for nearly two days over the weekend. The outage affected KDRT-LP 101.5 FM when backup batteries powering the transmitter failed during the extended power outage. KDRT is back on the air and now broadcasting without interruption.
DMA staff is working with Comcast representatives to get a replacement part for the damaged component and restore the station's signal.
According to Comcast, that may not be until tomorrow.
For more information, please call DMA at 757-2419.
