KBFD and its family of channels will be going off the air temporarily Saturday from 7-10 a.m. (estimated).

The office building in Century Square, where our operations are located, recently completed an elevator modernization upgrade since the building was built more than 30 years ago. As required by the state Department of Labor and Industrial Relations, Boiler and Elevator Inspection branch, the power to Century Square will be suspended temporarily to allow for maintenance and testing of building equipment.

KBFD will lose electrical power to our offices and transmitter for an estimated three hours during this inspection.

KBFD, KBS and Arirang channels on Oceanic Time Warner Cable and Hawaii Telcom will all be affected. We will be back on air as soon as power is restored to our property. We do not anticipate being off the air past noon.

Thank you for your kokua.
