  • The WRAL TV Mast is a 1,999 foot (609.5 m) high guy-wired radio mast for TV and FM-broadcasting near Auburn, North Carolina, USA. The WRAL HDTV mast weighs 723 tons and the guys weigh 258 tons. The WRAL TV mast has three platforms for aerials of directive radio and it is used by 3 TV and 2 FM-broadcasting companies. It was built in 1989 as replacement for two masts of the same height, which collapsed during a blizzard. Near WRAL TV Mast, there are two further extremely high radio masts, the WTVD Tower and the WNCN Tower.
  • COrrected the error between the naming of the WRAL and WNCN towers. Here is your data for the WNCN tower: Height: 606.2 metres Year of built: 2000 http://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsApp/AsrSearch/asrRegistration.jsp?regKey=127874
