Building
The building the station was licensed to was supposedly leased by a unit of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. After their property lease was cut short by the King, the Mormons were forced to relocate to Liahona. It is said that the Mormons 'put a curse' on the building when they departed, but that is an invalid assertion, as neither the present Church leaders nor its members never curse anything they have to leave. The building was then leased to a Chinese entrepreneur, who set up the Tong-Hua Chinese Restaurant. Tong-Hua inhabited the building for almost ten years, until they were also forced to relocate when the king granted a 50 year lease to TV 7. The original TV tower was attached to the part of the building where the spire once stood.

“And no less firmly do I hold that we shall one day recognize in Freud’s life-work the cornerstone for the building of a new anthropology and therewith of a new structure, to which many stones are being brought up today, which shall be the future dwelling of a wiser and freer humanity.”

“... what’s been building since the 1980’s is a new kind of social Darwinism that blames poverty and crime and the crisis of our youth on a breakdown of the family. That’s what will last after this flurry on family values.”
—Stephanie Coontz (b. 1944)
“There is something about the literary life that repels me, all this desperate building of castles on cobwebs, the long-drawn acrimonious struggle to make something important which we all know will be gone forever in a few years, the miasma of failure which is to me almost as offensive as the cheap gaudiness of popular success.”
—Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)
