Çamlıca TRT Television Tower (Turkish: TRT Çamlıca Verici İstasyonu) was a communication tower in Üsküdar district of Istanbul, Turkey. It is owned and operated by the state-owned Turkish Radio and Television Corporation (TRT). It was demolished late 2020 after being 48 years in service.

History

The tower was located on Büyük Çamlıca Hill (literally:Big Çamlıca Hill) at 268 m (879 ft) above main sea level. The tower went into service on 30 December 1972.[1] The tower had a total height of 166 m (545 ft) with the 148 m (486 ft) highconical concrete tower and a steel mast atop. On May 21, 2010, a fire broke out at the tower's 80 m (260 ft) height. The fire caused damage to the transmitter, and the broadcasting was interrupted until the damage was removed.[2]

Demolishion

With the completion of the Küçük Çamlıca TV Radio Tower on the neighborung hill, the steel transmitter masts, which cause visual pollution and are considered to be harmful to health, will be removed and integrated in both towers.[3] After serving 48 years, the tower became defunct, and was demolished within two months late 2020.[1]
