L.A.’s ABC7 Loses Over-The-Air Signal From Mount Wilson Amid Eaton Fire

deadline.com:

ABC7 (KABC), the ABC affiliate station in Los Angeles, lost its over-the-air signal Friday morning as the Eaton Fire burned near the Mount Wilson observatory and communication towers in the Angeles National Forest.

Radio station KLOS-FM 95.5, which also uses transmission facilities in the Angeles National Forest, also went off the air overnight.

The Eaton Fire in the Altadena/Pasadena area burned extremely close to the radio and TV transmitter towers Thursday, which also include NBC, Fox, PBS stations, Nexstar’s KTLA-TV Channel 5, Paramount’s KCBS-TV Channel 2, KCAL-TV Channel 9 and other local stations, as well as LAist/KPCC-FM 89.3, KCBS 93.1 and KIIS 102.7.

Fortunately, the transmitters were not damaged by the flames. Disney-owned KABC confirmed that it was “experiencing an issue with the transmitter,” but did not provide details.
