### 2/5 — Bad service

*2019-04-05, version 8.1.9*

I live in Stockton. So I get my KBLX through the Internet. But my Internet is strong sometime I still can’t get KBLX. I hate the commercials if I drop the signal it starts in the commercial again. It was off for about a month. I don’t know why I couldn’t get to service at all. And then one day it reappeared. I lived in Oakland for 30 years. I’ve been living here in Stockton for four years. I love KBLX.
