If you're around Keynsham, Hanham and places East, you'll miss us going off air for just a few minutes while we "fix things" 🔧

[Bristol Digital Radio @bristoldabradio]

@SWUFM can we get a follow so we can DM you?

[Bristol Digital Radio @bristoldabradio]

We're having some glitches this morning with our Comms provider, which is affecting reception. We're working on fixing things up. 👨‍🏭

[Bristol Digital Radio @bristoldabradio]

We're having a bit of a moment which means signal quality in Clifton and Cotham is going to be a bit weak. It should get fixed in the next 30 minutes or so. 💪💪

[Bristol Digital Radio @bristoldabradio]

And we're back. Good work, wire guys.

[Bristol Digital Radio @bristoldabradio]

🌩️🌩️ thunderstorms have knocked out the power to our transmitter that covers Keynsham, Hanham and Kingswood. The wire guys are on the job to get the power back on again this afternoon. 🌩️🌩️

🚨🚨 NEW STATION ALERT 🚨🚨

You can get your electronic music fix from Select Radio, across Bristol from this morning. Bringing huge sounds to the city...

[Bristol Digital Radio @bristoldabradio]

All the snow has gone, and we're back to full strength again. 💪💪

[Bristol Digital Radio @bristoldabradio]

We're struggling with snow out East, so the signal around Keynsham, Hanham and Longwell Green is a bit weedy. We're getting the brooms out now. 🧹🧹

[Bristol Digital Radio @bristoldabradio]

If you were having tricky reception in the city this morning, it wasn't you, it was us. "us" has now been turned off and on again, and is working again. 🥱

[Bristol Digital Radio @bristoldabradio]

@timbouk You might find an SD card slot in the glove compartment. If you put new logos in the right format on an SD card and put it in there, you can force the radio to update. But it will revert if the car battery is disconnected. It's really not very good.

[Bristol Digital Radio @bristoldabradio]

@timbouk Hi Tim. That looks like a Volkswagen?. VW had a bad habit of 'burning in' the station logos against Service ID numbers. When that station changes logo, or the Service ID is allocated to a new station, the logo doesn't change. And it's not easy to fix. 😬

[Bristol Digital Radio @bristoldabradio]

Keynsham is back on-line, so hello again to everyone around Kingswood, Hanham and Keynsham, sorry we were gone for so long. 👋👋

[Bristol Digital Radio @bristoldabradio]

Our transmitter in Keynsham is still disconnected after Storm Isha brought down comms lines. We're hoping everything will be glued back together again later today.

[Bristol Digital Radio @bristoldabradio]

Our transmitter that covers Keynsham, Hanham and Kingswood is off-air following last night's storm. We don't yet have an ETA. 🙁

[Bristol Digital Radio @bristoldabradio]

The bad weather is causing some bad reception problems if you're to the east of city, around Keynsham. 💨💨.

[Bristol Digital Radio @bristoldabradio]

All back to normal now. Sorry for the disruption to your listening pleasure. 🌴

[Bristol Digital Radio @bristoldabradio]

We're running at sightly reduced signal in BS3 and BS4 at the moment, which we're hoping will be fixed soon. 😕

[Bristol Digital Radio @bristoldabradio]

⚡⚡ The power is back on at our Clifton transmitter, and we're hoping it will stay that way. So back to full force across the city. ⚡⚡

[Bristol Digital Radio @bristoldabradio]

We're still without power at our Clifton transmitter, so reception will still be patchy. We're hoping tomorrow might be the day it gets fixed. 🤞
