KOAM operating on temporary, lower-powered antenna


(From KOAM)

KOAM is now broadcasting from a lower, temporary antenna. This may significantly affect your reception in the coming days until the big install is complete.

What’s the big install? The FCC approved KOAM-TV and KFJX-TV (FOX14) to increase the station’s transmitter power and antenna strength. 








Once the new, more technically-advanced antennas are installed at the top of the 1,000-foot tower, we’ll switch back over and residents will have a BETTER signal than before.

In May, the tower crew from Precision Communications installed a temporary antenna on KOAM’s 1,000-foot tower. It’s about 760 feet up. This is in preparation for taking down the two main antennas at the very top.

While the switchover is happening, you can still watch KOAM News digitally. Check out our app and streaming options at the link below!
