Letter: Could WBT’s Land Be Shared, Just Like Cincinnati’s Blaw-Knox?

Rolf Taylor suggests developing around the tower site

Regarding the letters in response to the possible sale of the WBT site and preservation possibilities.

In Mason, Ohio, iHeartMedia’s WLW(AM) managed to commercially develop right around the tower — also a Blaw-Knox — and over the ground radials.

It seemed pretty outrageous at the time, but the station is still on the air.

Perhaps thinking outside the box could result in a way to save the towers and possibly even keep them in operation.
