BANGOR – A problem with transmitting equipment left about 10,400 households in the Calais area unable to see WLBZ-TV 2.

WLBZ General Manager Judy Horan said Wednesday that callers notified the station of the problem Monday morning.

The problem appears to be with equipment on a tower that relays the station’s signal. The tower feeds Pine Tree Cable customers, she said, and allows households with antennas to receive the signal.

“We’ve had problems with that before,” Horan said.

The tower is in Meddybemps.

Technicians were on the scene Monday but were unable to order the needed parts until Tuesday. Horan could not say when service would be restored but said a crew was at the tower Wednesday afternoon.
