WIBG began in the twenties as a religious station running low power from St. Paul's Episcopal Church in suburban Elkins Park. Under Storer's ownership in the fifties, it moved out to Ridge Pike, almost within sight of the WFIL site, put up a five-tower array, cranked day powerup
A SELECTION FROM A DECADE OF VISITS TO TOWER AND STUDIO The Fox family sold channel 29 to Taft Broadcasting after a few years, and it soon became WTAF-TV, a prominent independent station; with the coming of the Fox television network in the mid-80s, it became a Fox O&O as WTXF, leaving the old building on Domino Lane behind in favor of a bigger new building slightly up the hill closer to the tower. A SELECTION FROM A DECADE OF VISITS TO TOWER AND STUDIO From the WOOD-TV/WOOD-FM site, we head east into Allegan County and then north a bit, to the newest transmitter site in West Michigan, at 1131 146th Avenue, west of US 131 and about 13 miles south of downtown Grand Rapids. These four towers are the new site A SELECTION FROM A DECADE OF VISITS TO TOWER AND STUDIO WNED was the descendant of WBUF-TV, one of NBC's early experiments in owned-and-operated UHF stations. When WBUF-TV went dark in 1959, the facilities were donated to public broadcasting, and for the next two decades or so, WNED-TV used the studios and tower at 184 Barton Ave. that had been WBUF's. Moving to its own tall tower on Grand Island A SELECTION FROM A DECADE OF VISITS TO TOWER AND STUDIO Alongside Highway 100 just north of I-394 is the three-tower site of KDIZ, Golden Valley (1440), the area's Radio Disney affiliate. This was the old KQRS (AM), survived on the FM dial by rocker KQRS-FM at 92.5. The next morning, the clouds have given way to blue skies, and day two of our Big Trip begins far south of the metro, at the "new"site
A SELECTION FROM A DECADE OF VISITS TO TOWER AND STUDIO The city's oldest station, KROS (1340), is the former AM sister to what's now KMXG, and I think its tower on 13th Avenue North is the original FM site as well. Up north of town on 442nd Avenue (a continuation of 16th Street in town), there's a two-tower array that's home to KCLN (1390), running 1000 watts by day and 91 watts by night,and to
A SELECTION FROM A DECADE OF VISITS TO TOWER AND STUDIO March 20-27, 2003 San Diego, California (part I) A year or so ago, we presented some pictures from our visit to Los Angeles back in the summer of 2001 (you can find them here and here and here), and promised we'd eventually get around to putting up the pictures from San Diego and Tijuana that we took during that trip, too. We'll start at the birthplace of TV in San Diego, Mount Soledad.

A SELECTION FROM A DECADE OF VISITS TO TOWER AND STUDIO The Former WGBI 910, Scranton, PA. As impressive as the demolition of the WOR towers in New Jersey was last week, those weren't the only radio towers in the northeast being demolished. A couple of hours to the west, in Scranton, Pennsylvania, tower crews were busy taking down another, rather smaller bit of broadcast history.

A SELECTION FROM A DECADE OF VISITS TO TOWER AND STUDIO In 1965, another tower went up on Annenberg's land, as he leased space behind the channel 6 transmitter building to the new Kaiser Broadcasting UHF outlet, WKBS-TV (Channel 48), which built its own 1108' stick and transmitter building. A SELECTION FROM A DECADE OF VISITS TO TOWER AND STUDIO Because Wilmington gets its TV service from Philadelphia, anyone looking for local news in northern Delaware has to turn to either the newspaper (Gannett's News Journal) or to radio, and WDEL excels in providing local coverage to the Wilmington market.Though it carries Dr. Laura, Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity, WDEL also has much more local news, talk and sports than most AM stations in A SELECTION FROM A DECADE OF VISITS TO TOWER AND STUDIO March 13-20, 2003 Asnebumskit Hill (and Little Asnebumskit), Paxton, Mass.

A SELECTION FROM A DECADE OF VISITS TO TOWER AND STUDIO June 19-26, 2002 Nashville: More from Music City. Our late February - early March excursion to the mid-South began and ended in the same place: Nashville, Tennessee. A SELECTION FROM A DECADE OF VISITS TO TOWER AND STUDIO In the meantime, the site that had been so remote in 1947 had become part of inner-ring suburbia. The opening of the Outer Loop and Genesee Expressways (I-390/I-590) in 1980 not only helped fuel that sprawl, but also brought tens of thousands of drivers a day past the 950 transmitter site, which today sits just south and east of the ramp that carries northbound 390 traffic to northbound 590.

A SELECTION FROM A DECADE OF VISITS TO TOWER AND STUDIO Heading out of Cedar Rapids on I-380, we spot two more FMs off the east side of the highway.
