KBFD and family of channels will be going off the air temporarily this coming Saturday morning from 7 a.m. to 10 am. (estimated).
The office building Century Square, where our operations are located, has recently completed an elevator modernization upgrade since the building was built over 30 years ago.
As required by the state of Hawaii, Department of Labor and Industrial Relations, Boiler and Elevator Inspection branch, the power to Century Square will be suspended temporarily to allow for maintenance and testing of building equipment.
KBFD will lose electrical power to our offices and transmitter for an estimated of three hours during this inspection.
KBFD, KBS, Arirang channels over the air, on Time Warner Oceanic Cable and Hawaii Telcom will all be affected.
We will be back on air as soon as power is restored to our property which is estimated to be at 10 a.m. but could take longer by a few hours. We do not anticipate being off the air longer than past noon. Thank you for your kokua.
