WLBT Tower

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The WLBT Tower was a 610 meter (2000 feet) high guy-wired aerial mast for the transmission of FM radio and TV-programs from Raymond, Mississippi, USA for the Jackson metro area. The mast, constructed in 1966, was located at 32°12′50″N 90°22′57″W / 32.21389°N 90.3825°W / 32.21389; -90.3825. On October 23rd, 1997 the mast, which was property of Cosmos Broadcasting (WLBT is a local NBC affiliate) collapsed during the renovation of its guy wires. Three workers were killed. The tower has since been rebuilt.
