Boise State Public Radio Forced Off Air


Boise State Public Radio is experiencing a network outage that is affecting all of our broadcast signals. This includes the radio and all digital signals including streaming devices, the app and on our website.

Syringa Networks told our staff late Wednesday night contractors at the corner of Broadway and Beacon installed a concrete collar around a manhole, which resulted in damage to the. fiber optic cable. This caused an internet outage to all of Boise State's campus and damaged over 200 fiber connections.

Boise State's main campus was able to reroute and restore internet connectivity. But because of Boise State Public Radio's proximity to the damaged cable, we are unable to reroute our network.

Crews are on site making repairs but there is no estimated time of when we will be back on air.

Boise Public Radio will keep listenes updated on the network status on their Facebook page. NPR programming remains available on the NPR app and the NPR website.
