Original story published Monday, March 4:

(Lawrenceburg, Ind.) – Eagle Country 99.3 is excited to announce a new upgrade to our radio station.

A new antenna is going to be installed on our transmitter tower in Ohio County on Tuesday, March 5. Replacing the current 50-year-old antenna will allow the station to better serve its listeners and advertisers.

In order to install the new antenna, however, we will need to be off the air for a few hours Tuesday. Listeners will still be able to hear us online or on our Eagle Country 99.3 app (available on the Apple App Store or Google Play) while we’re off the air.

“Bear with us while we upgrade our signal for all of our listeners,” says Wagon Wheel Broadcasting general manager Melissa Murphy.

WSCH-FM will be marking 49 years on the air and serving the tri-state this coming October.
