FM station of equipment failure due to typhoon restart at temporary studio Chiba Ichihara September 16, 12:09
A community FM station in Ichihara City, Chiba Prefecture, which was unable to broadcast due to the damage of Typhoon No. 15, has set up a temporary studio and has started sending out living information to local victims.
“Ichihara FM Broadcasting”, which covers Ichihara City and Nagagara Town, has become unable to broadcast due to a typhoon that caused communication facilities to malfunction.
For this reason, a part of the corridor of Ichihara City Hall was borrowed, equipment was brought in, a temporary studio was set up, and broadcasting resumed in earnest on the 16th. In order to broadcast, 140 meters of cable was connected from the antenna on the roof of the 10-story city hall to the studio on the third floor.
In the program that started at 9:30 am, President Kenji Misono and a personality woman also appeared to convey life information for local disaster victims such as power outages and how to put out garbage. The president also reported on the inconveniences of the residents that President Misono heard from walking around the area.
“Ichihara FM Broadcasting” means that in the future, we will continue to broadcast in the temporary studio, repair the equipment, and resume broadcasting from the original studio by early next month.
President Misono says, “It is our duty to deliver the information necessary for citizens to live safely and securely. I hope that the information delivered will help as many people as possible.” It was.
