KNAU 88.7 is operating on impaired low power. APS has shut off power to our tower atop Mormon Mountain to service another radio station's meter. APS estimates full power will be restored around midnight Sunday evening/Monday morning.

KNAG 90.3 FM Grand Canyon is back on-air. Our engineers have repaired transmitter equipment on the ground but suspect the tower-mounted antenna may have sustained damage & are working to locate the problem; further repairs to come... Thanks so very much to our dedicated listeners in the region for their patience & support!

KNAU Arizona Public Radio is integrating new audio software into both news and classical services. We thank you for your patience and support through the transition.

Several areas of the Coconino National Forest have been re-opened following the Pipeline Fire.

All areas located east of Highway 89, including the Cinders OHV area and the Sunset Crater National Monument, have re-opened to the public.

Officials urged visitors to use caution while in the area as there are still post-fire hazards in the area, including rolling rocks, falling trees and flood waters.

Some portions of the burned area will remain closed for the foreseeable future for public safety, such as the popular Lockett Meadow and Weatherford Canyon. Forest officials will reevaluate whether the risks can be mitigated after the winter season.

A number of trails also remain closed, such as the Weatherford and Waterline trails, as well as a portion of the Arizona Trail.

Visit the Coconino National Forest website for a full map of the closures.
