October 20th Tower Update

KAXE | By Sarah Bignall

Progress continues on the tower project. Most notably today, the old tower is being de-stacked!

Other progress that occurred over the weekend includes:
- Trenching power and a Paul Bunyan fiber line to the transmitter building.
- Power ran to the tower light controller
- Building ready for equipment to be installed

So far things are running on schedule and we should be able to flip the switch on the new tower and transmitter late-October/early-November.

Thanks again for you patience and support!
