KPAX will temporarily lose signal on Wednesday afternoon as we make upgrades to our transmitter on TV Mountain north of Missoula.
The upgrade represents the culmination of a three-year project that requires replacing the station's antenna.
Over-the-air viewers will lose the KPAX signal for a few hours on Wednesday, Oct. 1, from 2 to 4 p.m. while engineers install temporary equipment.
Viewers who watch KPAX via cable or satellite will not be affected by the signal interruption.
The transition to ultra-high frequency is expected to provide significantly better indoor reception quality for viewers throughout the Missoula area once the upgrade is complete.
