[IRCA] A Notice About ZNS1 1540

["Paul B. Walker, Jr." <walkerbroadcasting@xxxxxxxxx>]

In May, ZNS completed the upgrades to the Northern Service Antenna System,
replacing a condemned tower and installing ground radials to re-establish
its signal pattern to comply with internationally approved directional
array, Senator Smith said. The 1540 AM portion of the ZNS network is in
"dire need" of an upgrade, she said. The obsolete 50 kW transmitter is only
producing 8 kW of power, making it "impossible to service" a portion of the
central and all of the southeast Bahamas.

The corporation is also embarking on the New Providence Upgrade Project,
Senator Smith said. Already purchased are the replacement directional tower
and the required material to re-establish the signal pattern. The new
state-of-the-art 50 kW transmitter is scheduled to be delivered by mid-July.
A contractor has been engaged to ensure installation within the eight-week
specified time.
"So we are optimistic that before the end of the summer, the AM network of
the Broadcasting Corporation of The Bahamas will be fully restored and
providing the essential service to the entire country," Senator Smith said.
