KTSC problems

If you were wondering what was going on with KTSC/Channel 8 last night, I reached engineering manager Ian Hartley this morning at the transmitter on Cheyenne Mountain, where he was working on the problem.

A computer problem with the microwave transmitters shut down the station about 9:40 p.m. Monday, Hartley said. The backup system was also malfunctioning, but they got the station back on the air by midnight. However, it crashed again sometime during the night and it was off the air until this morning. It's back up and seems to be fine now, however.
