The Frankfort Plant Board (FPB) News and Updates page provides customers detailed information on all pertinent happenings regarding FPB including, boil water advisories, network negotiations, outage reports and more.
The Frankfort Plant Board telecom services (cable, telephone, internet) are currently experiencing an outage due to an electric service interruption in Kentucky Utilities service area. This telecom outage will affect customers in portions of eastern Frankfort and Franklin County. Our services will be restored once Kentucky Utilities makes their repairs and restores their electric service.
Beginning on Friday, October 4, WLEX-TV (FPB Channels 7, 29, and 507) began transmitting their signal at 50% power due to equipment installation on their transmitter. FPB has done everything it can do to compensate for the reduction in signal. Unfortunately, this reduction is scheduled to last until October 18, 2019. As a result, there may be times during which WLEX’s signal on FPB Cable will become distorted or disappear altogether.
There are several methods available to FPB Cable customers to watch NBC content online. FPB Cable customers can watch much of NBC’s programming live via https://www.nbc.com/live/nbc or The NBC App (iOS and Android).
