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.
