KSUT begins broadcasting from the new Eddie Box, Jr. Media Center, Monday, October 12 at 6 AM, and we could not be more excited!
Everything about the old station, is in fact very old. From the carpeted walls to the control boards, mics and recording equipment, all hanging on by a thread while our move was delayed by the Coronavirus pandemic.
The new studios are a beautiful state of the art broadcast facility, complete with the latest equipment and technology. In preparation, this week has been spent training staff, transferring data and preparing to move from the old to the new.
While we're ready and eager for this major transition, we do anticipate some challenges, and ask for patience if we hit a few bumps along the way. We know the end result will be worth it in the coming months.
