"So many times, when we're out here in the rural area
that we're in, basically our towns get lost as far as events that go on,
activities that go on. The talent of the
people, there's musicians, just all kinds of things, and we wanted to be able
to cover them," said KZ88 program director Myron Jackson.
Right now, they're experiencing technical difficulties.

"You're listening to KZ88 KZGM. Early Saturday morning, lightning damaged
some of our transmitting equipment," says the message playing on the air
at 88.1 FM.
"We found that some data cables that go up to the top
of the tower that send our signal basically from our studio to the transmitter
either got hit by lightning or it was a near miss by lightning," Jackson
said.
Until KZ88 can get the cables on the tower repaired, they
won't be able to broadcast live, and that's actually a safety concern for some
people in the area.
"We have less to cover than for instance, TV stations,
that have a huge area to cover, and when there's multiple warnings going on if
a huge front comes through," said Jackson .
He does live weather coverage at all hours, keeping an eye
out for his neighbors.
