WXXI-TV experienced a catastrophic transmitter failure, and a crew will be working to replace the equipment TUESDAY night. The significance of this failure has impacted many of WXXI's services, and it is likely that the transmitter will be off line for most of this week. We are working as quickly as possible to restore full service for our over-the-air television viewers and listeners in the southern tier who tune to WXXY for Morning Edition and All Things Considered.
In order for the crew to work safely, WXXI-FM, WRUR and WXXY will be off the air for several hours overnight TUESDAY. Please check back for updates on this situation and for more off-air announcements to accommodate the repairs. We apologize for the interruption in service, and thank you for your patience.
