Local Television Tower Collapses

Saturday, 12. January 2008, 07:42:53

,

This occured on Jan. 11th at approximately 12:46pm. One of my family members had mentioned to me that channel 7 the local ABC affiliate had gone off the air as well as the local PBS station, but I hadn't given it any more thought until I saw this on the web. This 2033ft. tower was located only 10-12 miles north of me. Here is a link to the official news story as covered by one of the local independent broadcasters. http://www.cwarkansas.com/news/local/story.aspx?content_id=de8ac5eb-a5a6-40b9-aeb6-7e924c93f618

I expect they'll transfer over to another tower, but it will probably take awhile. That sounds like a huge tower - 2033 feet!! I travel a lot on I-75 between here and Ocala and see a lot of big towers, but I don't think they are that high.

2 and 7 are back online for ppl w/cable -n- satellite, but still offline 1/20/08 for ppl w reg TV. They were fortunate it did not lay across I-530 as it was tall enough and close enough it could have.

On Radio City (The 60s UK station based in the Thames estuary) there was a gigantic aerial, but I think this one dwarfs it!

On the other hand it was pretty much jury-rigged by a bunch of well meaning amateurs and still withstood everything the North Sea could throw at it. There must be a moral there...
