Coverage[]
The KTAO station was featured in Sky's the Limit.
It was introduced in 3 days after people when most radio stations have ceased broadcasting, with the exception being the radio station KTAO in Taos, New Mexico. The station is completely solar powered and was engineered so that a computer would take control of the station if people weren’t around.
In 15 years after people, the solar powered KTAO radio station still continues to broadcast. But inside the computer that controls the music the bearings of the computer’s cooling fan fail and the cooling fan grinds to a halt. This causes to computer to overheat and the KTAO finally stops broadcasting. By visually, plant life quickly grows around the station. Plaster and paint is peeling off the interior and dust accumulates the furniture, possibly affecting the other computers and broadcasting equipment. The fate of the building remains unknown.
