FIRE! (aka: what the $*#!$?)

For those who haven't heard: the building which houses KOOP radio suffered significant damage during a fire that broke out early morning on Friday, January 6th... This has understandably caused us to cease broadcasting for a short time as we undergo our recovery process. But have no fear: our equipment is intact & we fully intend to be back on the air early this week, so Jamaican Gold will return next Sunday. Thanks to all for the kind comments and concerns, and a big tip of the baseball cap to both the Austin Police & Fire Departments (for obvious reasons), as well as our sister station KVRX for covering the programming as we get everything back in order...
