Orlando Radio: WPRK Back On-Air Months After Irma

Rollins College’s student-run radio station, WPRK 91.5 FM in Orlando, returned to the airwaves Friday, its first radio broadcast since Hurricane Irma damaged an antenna and tower about 11 months ago, the Winter Park school reported.

While unable to broadcast via radio waves after the storm, the non-com station continued to pump out shows during the interruption via the internet and its website, wprk.org, according to The Orlando Sentinel.

The 1,300-watt station’s return to radio airwaves was expected to occur months ago but was complicated by nesting bald eagles which occupied a tower where the station’s new antennae was to be installed.
