GPB Radio/TV alert: Waycross station off-air upgrades

GPB Radio station WXVS FM 90.1 and WXGA TV 8 located on the GPB tall tower just west of Waycross, will be off the air for several days as GPB installs new FM HD-Radio and DTV/HD antenna systems.

GPB engineers began the digital upgrade work Monday, December 31 and are upgrading the tower, antennas and transmission lines.

"We apologize for the inconvenience this causes our loyal listeners and viewers in South Georgia,” says GPB Executive Director Nancy Hall. “GPB is doing everything possible to minimize the down time. Tower engineers and contractors are on site performing a significant upgrade that will help us better serve our audiences with enhanced technology and programming."

For more information and construction updates, viewers and listeners can call GPB’s Member and Audience Services Department at 1-800-222-4788
