Radio Mabaruma 95.1 FM, an affiliate of the National Communications Network (NCN) is currently down and off air, GINA said yesterday.
The transmitting site located on Broomes Hill in Mabaruma in the North West District was hit by lightning during a heavy storm in that area, resulting in the station coming off air, GINA added.
A technical team from NCN has since been sent to Mabaruma to determine the extent of the damage and also what needs to be done to put the station back on air.
The station was commissioned by Prime Minister Moses Nagamootoo on June 11.
