One of the taller self-supporting broadcast towers in the world, KCTV's red giant looms over 31st and Grand. Many folks think it's the KCPT tower since their studios are right next door but the building used to house channel five before it bolted for the burbs. Often times in winter huge chunks of ice rain down from above and necessitate closing the surrounding streets until the danger is passed.
somewhere I've heard that it's taller than Eiffel tower, and, yes, I thought it belongs to KCPT
ReplyDeleteKCPT's tower is part of that steel forest on the east side of 435 at about 23rd street.
