The satellite also made the move to the new building, KSUT Station Manager Rob Rawls and engineer Scott Henning, with the aid of Eagle Crane employees, position the satellite on the first day of broadcasting. The satellite was operational in time for afternoon programming.
Even the UFO's are landing to hear KSUT in their new studios! Well not exactly, the satellite dish from the old building is being hoisted into position at the new station by Eagle Crane.
