Updates

Check out our staff visit to the Pitkin County Upper Red transmitter site on February 28, 2023

Update – 4’s have been restored.

12/30/22 9am – Television channel 4’s are out at the source. They will be restored once the broadcaster fixes their feed. Please contact us for any additional outages as winter weather moves through the area.

Due to an internet outage from Aspen to Basalt telecommunications services are down. We are working to restore service and hope to be back in the broadcasting business shortly.

All Channels should be functioning properly now as of 7/14/22.

We have been having power outages in the Roaring Fork Mid Valley that has created problems with our internet feed of 7, 9, 2, and 20. We are currently working to fix the problem but seem to have run into more gremlins than anticipated.

Wednesday, July 13, 2022 at 6pm will be the 3rd quarter Telecommunications Advisory Board Meeting. This meeting is open to the public on Zoom.

Our team completed spring maintenance and installed some new equipment at our Elephant Mountain tower site on June 8. Our Elephant Mountain site is located along the Highway 133 corridor and provides wireless broadband, television, FM Radio and Public Safety Radio service.

The site is accessible only via helicopter. It was a beautiful day to fly! We started by flying down empty propane tanks that supply our generator at the site, and flying new ones up to the site. We then focused on site maintenance including checking connections on our antennas, upgrading software on the equipment on site, changing air filters, testing the generator and installing a new room monitoring system.

Our partners at Visionary Broadband also installed two new broadband panels on the tower to load-balance and better-serve customers throughout the Highway 133 corridor.

6/2/2022: Telecommunications staff are planning repairs at the Elephant tower June 8-10, 2022. This will mean intermittent outages of TV, FM and Broadband in the Crystal River Valley. Please be patience as staff work as quickly as possible. Questions can be answered at [email protected]
