UPDATE 10/24/26 9:58PM – KSLV is back on air and streaming. KYDN and KBGV are still off air due to flooded equipment. We are hoping to have KYDN back on air tomorrow. NO ETA on KBGV at this time.
Due to substantial rains in Monte Vista, flooding has occurred up to a foot of water on Highway 285 (currently closed from Monte Vista to County Road 5N – see video below) and has knocked out our radio station equipment that supports KSLV, KYDN and KBGV stations.
Our building is not easily accessible as there are several feet of water reaching the access door. (see more pics below)
At this time, we are unsure when we will be back on air. We will post more as we know more.
