I was trying to remember if there was someone we could call, e.g. the power company etc? I recall making a call to someone last time just can't remember who.

It appears a tree has gone though a power line in Waikanae causing a power outage . See Electra website for restoration time !!
Obv Ngarara TX has lost power too

Previous to last Dec you could check on Radio Live 99.1  Rock 91.9 and Edge 97.5 as they were also at the Ngarara Road Transmitter Site  .    They have since been relocated to the Forest Heights transmitter site . So we don't have that  ( Indicator method ) any more for loss of electricity / freeview !

I would love it to be moved there !!  it would be so much better for Otaki viewers who struggle from Ngarara or Wharite  .  Installing a back generator at Ngarara would be a no brainer !!  LOL

Hi Guys, I have updated the Network Status page to reflect the unplanned outage, please keep updated in this discussion when power or reception returns from the transmitter.

Kind Regards
Joshua
