KOOP radio station fire determined arson!
by Mireya ~ January 9th, 2008. Filed under: DJ Blog.The Austin Fire Department says the Austin community radio station KOOP 91.7 FM fire was no accident. The weekend fire is the third time the radio station went up in flames.
KOOP moved to new studios at 3823-B Airport Blvd. on December 2006 after a four-alarm fire in early 2006.
KOOP radio is powered by volunteers. Many DJ’s are professionals who broadcast more than 70 shows a week in their spare time.
They expect to be off the air for a couple of weeks.
The radio station shares their signal with KVRX, the UT student radio station. In the Know is featured on KVRX 91.7 FM. UT’s student radio will still be on the air, and may be covering extra time while KOOP is off the air.
