(DURHAM, February 22, 2007) - New Hampshire Public Television's translator atop Moose Mountain (call letters W15BK) suffered significant broadcast antenna damage during the February 14th snow storm. The station estimates it will take three to five weeks before the antenna can be replaced.W15BK is unable to operate in its present condition so the station will be off the air until a new antenna can be installed. Many viewers in the Hanover area receive NHPTV's signal from Comcast (Adelphia) and are not affected by the antenna failure because the cable signal comes from NHPTV's transmitter in Deerfield. "We regret any inconvenience to our viewers and will provide an update as soon as information is available," said Brian Shepperd, NHPTV Director of Technology. "We appreciate viewers' patience while we work to restore full services as soon as possible."
