The national media just can’t get enough of Tom Silliman.
The president and chairman of ERI will appear on the Discovery Channel on the evening of June 14, in a story about tall TV towers for the so-called Nashville Project.
In the past year, Silliman has been featured on, or appeared in, several TV programs and print publications. Much of the coverage focuses on his experiences as a climber of high broadcast towers such as the structure atop the Empire State Building. In 1992, Silliman led the team that installed antennas atop Empire.
Last year, ABC’s “20/20” profiled him as one of its “People Working on the Edge.” The New York Times covered one of his trips to Empire under the title, “Where Is King Kong When a Bulb Goes Out?” He has appeared on “Ripley’s Believe It or Not,” and in the pages of Radio World and National Geographic.
