Update: Boise State Public Radio is now fully back on air and network connection issues have been solved as of 4:50 p.m. Friday evening. Our engineers spent quite a bit of time confirming and reconfiguring everything to make sure it was all working.

There will likely be another outage next week to make permanent repairs. We will keep you updated on that time as we know it.

Boise State Public Radio is experiencing a network outage that is affecting all of our broadcast signals. This includes the radio and all digital signals including streaming devices, the app and on our website.

Syringa Networks told our staff late Wednesday night contractors at the corner of Broadway and Beacon installed a concrete collar around a manhole, which resulted in damage to the. fiber optic cable. This caused an internet outage to all of Boise State's campus and damaged over 200 fiber connections.

Boise State's main campus was able to reroute and restore internet connectivity. But because of Boise State Public Radio's proximity to the damaged cable, we are unable to reroute our network.

Crews are on site making repairs but there is no estimated time of when we will be back on air.

We will keep you updated on the network status here and on our Facebook page. You can still get all your favorite NPR programming on the NPR app and the NPR website.

Thank you for your patience.
