Update 2/15/2022: The television channel 3 transmitter that Pitkin County receives from is not working properly. The owner has a temporary fix in place but intermittent outages will occur until the unit can be replaced this summer. These outages are out of Pitkin County’s control.

1/21/2022: The television channel 3’s are having issues at the source that Pitkin County receives them from. The broadcaster KREG is working to bring their source back on air. Once they are able to do so, the 3’s will once again be available from the Pitkin County translator network. We do not have an estimate for how long this outage will last and apologize for the inconvenience.

Happy New Year and welcome “real” winter! Pitkin County Telecommunications had many challenges this holiday weekend and they are continuing.

Due to a power outage at our Sunlight tower, television, FM radio and public safety radio services at other towers were disrupted. Holy Cross did a great job restoring power on New Years Day.

Unfortunately we now have some faulty equipment acting up at the Thomasville tower. Staff is currently working on this issue and any others that come up due to the recent snow storm.
