Re: [IRCA] Neighbors Grouse About KMBZ Tower Site

[Paul Swearingen <plsbcbdxer@xxxxxxx>]

I believe the tower at Mission and Corinth is KCSP-610, formerly WDAF.


The four in-line towers and studio at 87th and I-35 in NE Lenexa that KUDL-1380 used have long since been replaced by a multi-million-dollar business park. I'm surprised that KMBZ's and KCSP's property has not also gone the same way -Paul Swearingen, Topeka

Larry, you¹re correct that the suburbs crept in around the site. Another
example is the tower a few miles southwest near Mission and Corinth. I
don¹t know which station uses that tower, though.
