Subject: Typhoon No.15 influence on broadcastingJAPAN
Typhoon No. 15 (Faxai) attacked Tokyo Bay area with 60m/s severe wind on
September 8. Especially Chiba prefecture, at the eastern side of Tokyo
Bay, was severely damaged.
The transmission from Kisarazu transmitter site of Nippon Broadcasting
System Inc. (1242 kHz 100 kW), located in Chiba prefecture, was
influenced. The power supply from Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO)
to the site was stopped at around 1800 hrs on September 8. They suddenly
switched on their own power plant and continued to transmit, but at
around 2300 hrs the power plant broke down, and the transmission was
interrupted for a while. They were obliged to use the reserve
transmitter (1 kW) at Adachi transmitter site in Tokyo.
100 kW transmission was resumed at 1325 hrs on September 10, when they
repaired the own power plant. The power supply from TEPCO was restored on
September 12.
FM transmission on 93.0 MHz from Tokyo Sky Tree was not affected.After the typhoon, Radio Nikkei announced they have been transmitting
the 1st program (regularly 6055 kHz 50 kW) from Nagara transmitter site,
also located in Chiba prefecture, with reduced power, due to the trouble
of the transmitter. They do not announce whether the trouble was caused
directly by the typhoon.
