KPOV receives Collins Foundation grant
BEND, Ore. (KTVZ) -- KPOV 88.9 FM, High Desert Community Radio, was awarded a $10,000 grant from The Collins Foundation to replace an important part of their broadcasting equipment, ensuring the long-term reliability of their broadcast signal.
The Collins Foundation has generously agreed to fund $10,000 to KPOV for our Secure Our Signal. The purpose of the award is to help KPOV replace its Studio Transmitter Link system (STL), which connects the downtown Bend studio to KPOV's transmission tower.
The current STL is operational, but is approaching the end of its expected life. “A radio station STL is mission critical equipment. We want to replace ours before it begins to experience difficulties and impair our signal as it reaches the end of its life span,” says KPOV Station Manager Bruce Morris.
