Broadcast Towers
From 1973 to 2001, KYTV's broadcast tower was the tallest structure in Missouri approaching nearly 2,000 feet (610 m) feet more than three times the height of the Gateway Arch. In 1973, it built a 608.4 metres (1,996 ft) tower in Marshfield. In 2000, this was followed by a 609.4 metres (1,999 ft) tower in Fordland for high definition broadcasts. The towers were surpassed in 2001 by the Sedalia-based KMOS-TV tower in Syracuse which was only 0.2 metres (7.9 in) higher 609.6 metres (2,000 ft). The towers remain the second and third tallest structures in the state and are among the tallest structures in the world.

Famous quotes containing the words broadcast and/or towers:
“Radio news is bearable. This is due to the fact that while the news is being broadcast the disc jockey is not allowed to talk.”
—Fran Lebowitz (b. 1951)
“Lay a beam between these two towers of such width as we need to walk on: there is no philosophical wisdom of such great firmness that it can give us courage to walk on it as we should if it were on the ground.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
