Fox 13 posted a video of a radio tower demolition on their Facebook page yesterday, with Tooele given as the tower location. However, no call letters of the radio station were given, and I'm trying to figure out whose tower it was. Anyone have any ideas? fb.watch/k9aC5KkMHf/?mibextid=ZbWKwL |

Against my better judgement I tried to watch that video, but it wouldn't load. I didn't see any articles about any radio towers on Fox 13's website. Was that an old video or something recent? Any idea if anything about it was posted anywhere else?

The video was posted on Fox 13's Facebook page on Tuesday, April 25th, and the description says the tower was demolished the same day. The only radio tower I know of that's been in Tooele "for decades" (according to Fox 13) is the old KDYL/KTLE tower that dates to the time period when those stations were on 990 AM.

Looks like the one. I wonder who owns that property right now, and has it just stayed vacant all these years?
Also, what are the plans for it?
Could have been a nice site for some ham, or other radio/aficionado, with a tower already standing.

According to the person who submitted the video to Fox 13, the former tower site is going to be used for (surprise!) a new housing development. ☹️ I've lost track of how many AM tower sites in the Salt Lake City area have been cleared for housing developments. The former KOGN studio/tower site was cleared for what appears to be storage units, but I think it could be included in the housing development list also. |
