Texas State's radio station K-T-S-W is upgrading its transmitting facilities to improve the quality of its broadcast signal in San Marcos.  Bret Taylor has more in this Bobcat Update.

SB:
Earlier this year Texas State University purchased the land where the station's tower is located.  A leasing arrangement had been in effect prior to the purchase.  K-T-S-W General Manager Dan Schumacher says that due to unique geographical features between San Marcos and New Braunfels, the signal reaching San Marcos listeners has been weakened by the terrain. 
SB: There's a ridge between here and New Braunfels that the signal has a hard time getting over.
A key to improving the signal will be to replace the existing tower. In all, the project is expected to cost more than 400-thousand dollars
STAND UP: Hopefully after adding a little height to the tower students won't have any trouble picking up K-T-S-W. For Bobcat Update, I'm Bret Taylor.
