Antenna Question

[RoddyFreeman]

I was visiting Philadelphia on Saturday and walked through Center City. I know the tower atop the PSFS Building was built for WCAU-TV in 1947 prior to their moving to Roxborough. I noticed, however, that there are some FM bays on the tower.

I think the 97.1 translator is up there, but this was a full FM antenna, not a translator antenna. Could it be someone's backup?

I believe WMMR's backup is still on top of the PSFS building

I know the All Hazards KIH28 antenna is on there, too.

Thanks. Is that where they were before Liberty Place?

Random rant for you: There were plans to construct a Low-Power television station on the PSFS building in 2021. But, why/how in the world would they choose CHANNEL SIX and expect the FCC to pass it through? WPVI is on channel 6!

Maybe all they care about is being on 87.7 FM.

But that still doesn't work, as WPVI's digital signal is still on 87.7. That LPTV signal would get literally no where.
