An outage of NOAA Weather Radio station KZZ-65 in Bloomington is scheduled for today, February 13th. Technicians will be relocating the equipment at the transmitter site. The outage time is expected to only be a few hours. The transmitter will remain in the same area (Nord Farms site near the I-55/ Market St. interchange in Bloomington), so no changes in service area are expected.

De Witt County: WXJ-75 in Springfield (162.400 MHz) and WXJ-76 in Champaign (162.550 MHz)
