UPDATE: Thanks to all who have donated! You're in good company- click to see the donor list.
Our technicians have determined that a lightning strike has badly damaged our broadcast antenna. We are on the air at 90.1 FM, but with a weaker effective signal than normal. Our other translators in outlying areas (89.5 in Galveston, 89.7 Huntsville, and 90.3 in Goodrich) are not affected and continue to broadcast at full power.
If you are hearing static, try listening to us online instead. Our internet streams are always clear and available from anywhere in the world. Just click on the listen buttons at top right to listen live, or click 'On Demand' to hear past shows.
It's also easy to install listen apps on your mobile device. If you have an iPhone or iPad, search for 'kpft' to find our app in the app store. If you are an Android user, we don't yet have a specific app, but you can find us in the TuneIn app, available from the Android Market. StreamFurious is another Android app that can play our streams after you click on the listen button in your mobile web browser.
Please consider making a special donation to the KPFT Lightning Campaign fund to help us get over this challenge to our budget and keep free speech radio alive in Houston.
