Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Atop is the old batwing antenna for channels 4 and 5, which have since moved off those analog channels and onto UHF ones, though they still identify as 4 and 5. Two tiers below that is is the ERI master antenna for nearly all of New York's FM stations. The story of its installation is here. Stations radiating from the facility include WQXR/105.9, WNYC-FM/93.9, WLTW/106.7, WSKQ/97/9, WXNY/96.3, WWFS/102.7, WRKS/98.7, WBAI/99.5, WBLS/107.5, WWPR/105.1, WHTZ/100.3, WXRK/92.3, WAXQ/104.3 and WKTU/103.5. All are 6kw horizontal and vertical except for WBAI (4.3), WBLS (4.2), WQXR (.61) and WRXP (6.2). It appears from here that WRXP uses the gold one-bay while the rest use the white two-bay above. Next down, though hard to see, are four-bay batwing panels for New York's four high-band VHF stations: WABC/7, WWOR/9, WPIX/11 and WNET/13. All but WWOR are still using the antenna for digital transmission. Below that is a WPLJ/95.5 auxiliary antenna (6.6kw) and then three stations sharing a two-bay panel antenna: WQHT/97.1, WPLJ/95.5 and WCBS-FM/101.1. All three are 6.7kw. The old Alford can be seen below. NECRAT Tower and Antenna Photography provides closer looks at the many antennas up here, with better identifications than I'm providing here. Specifically, here's the TV rundown and Here's the FM rundown. |
