Milwaukee Tower

[Metropolite]

Saw a skyline photo of Milwaukee showing a rooftop self-supporter. Anyone know the building and the call letters?

Can I assume you mean this http://gallery.bostonradio.org/2004-07/mke/100-02066-med.html tower?

I think WMKE-LP (ch. 7/DT 20) is the only broadcast station on this tower today. WMYX 99.1 might have an aux up there as well.

WVTV and WDJT have moved into the tower farm roughly 3-4 miles north of this tower, and WCAN went defunct in 1969. (actually it had been off the air for years by then)

And, yes, as the picture shows, it's atop the Hilton Hotel on Wisconsin Avenue in downtown Milwaukee.

WMYX & WXSS have their backups on the Wells Fargo Building. I remember old threads by Chris Tarr mentioning that those 2 stations have their backups on the Wells Fargo building.

Two of the worst programmed stations in this world today also I might add.
