Solar Outage Time is March 5 - 9, 2018 beginning at 12:51 p.m. CT.

Red River Radio will experience a solar outage from March 4 - March 9, 2018. This solar outage or sun transit outage is an electromagnetic phenomenon wherein a station downlink is temporarily unable to receive a satellite signal due to interference from the sun as it passes behind the satellite. Solar outages occur on a predictable schedule and affect downlinks in the U.S. for as much as few minutes a day, twice each year, in early October and Early March. This will cause signal loss to listeners for a few minutes each day this week during the BBC News at noon. Red River Radio is ready to restore and correct any issues immediately after. We appreciate your patience and support.
