Works on Għargħur Transmitting Tower – Wednesday 4 November 2020
The Authority wishes to inform the public that on Wednesday 4 November 2020 some maintenance works will be carried out on the Għargħur Tower, weather permitting, and between 12:30 and 16:00 there is a possibility that some services will have interruptions or there will be a switch off in radio transmission.
This operation however has its own risks and there is still a possibility that a complete shutdown of the transmissions from the tower might be required. The plan for maintenance will require the lowering of transmission power at around 1230, and we should be able to go back to normal power levels by 1600.
Should the work on the transmitting tower finishes before the scheduled time, the transmission will resume before 16:00.
The Broadcasting Authority apologises for any inconvenience.
