WECT TV6 Tower

WECT TV6 Tower

WECT TV6 Tower is a 2000 ft (609.6 m) tall mast used as antenna for FM- and TV-broadcasting. It was built in 1969 and is situated at Colly Township, North Carolina, USA at 34°34'44.0" N and 78°26'12.0" W. WECT TV6 Tower is, along with several other masts, the seventh tallest man-made structure ever created; it is not only the tallest structure in North Carolina, but also the tallest in the United States east of the Mississippi River.

As WECT signs on with a new digital transmitter in Winnabow, the station will cease transmission of their analog signal from the Bladen County tower on September 8, 2008. WECT will continue to utilize the analog tower for newsgathering purposes. [http://www.wect.com/Global/story.asp?S=8835104&nav=menu157_1_1]
