Radio Pulpit has announced it is off air on 657AM for an indefinite period due to severe vandalism and theft at the Meyerton transmitter site.

The radio station is urging its listeners to download the Radio Pulpit app for uninterrupted listening, now and in future.

Radio Pulpit  said it is awaiting news from Sentech on the return of the service, as the radio station has been off air since October 13.

Listeners can still tune in via Radio Pulpit’s online streaming service at www.radiopulpit.co.za , the Radio Pulpit smartphone app, DStv882 and Openview 607 and follow updates on Facebook and its other official social media channels for the latest information regarding the restoration of the broadcast.

Reverend Karel Verhoef, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Radio Pulpit, said: "We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused and appreciate the patience and understanding of our loyal audience during this time."

He encouraged Radio Pulpit listeners to listen online and tell family and friends to download the Radio Pulpit smartphone app, while repairs are underway.

Regular on-air programming on 657AM is expected to resume once repairs are safely completed and all systems have been tested.
