5202b River Rd (Lat: 38.963611 , Lon: -77.104722)


The 809-foot tower that was built in 1965 for WDCA, channel 20 and WETA, channel 26. WDCA's studios were in a building right next to the tower, which eventually also became home to WHUT, channel 32.

The end of analog TV also marked the end of television on this tower, but it remains in use for FM. That's CBS Radio's Bethesda-licensed 94.7 (it was WTGB in 2008, and is now "Fresh FM" WIAD) on the two-bay ERI at the top, with Clear Channel's WIHT ("Hot 99.5") on the panel antenna just below it.
