KMSP Tower

KMSP Tower

KMSP TV Tower is a 446.8 meter (1466 feet) high guy-wired aerial mast for the transmission of FM radio and television programs in Shoreview, Minnesota at coord|45|03|30|N|93|07|28|W|. The structure was apparently the tallest in Minnesota until the construction of the KPXM Tower in 1997.

The tower, which was built in 1971, is owned by KMSP channel 9 of Eden Prairie, Minnesota but is shared by several area broadcasters; WFTC channel 29 (KMSP's sister station) and the Twin Cities Public Television stations, KTCA 2 and KTCI 17. Several FM stations are also on the tower: KQRS-FM 92.5("KQ92"), KXXR 93.7 ("93X"), KTCZ 97.1 ("Cities 97"), KTIS-FM 98.5, KSJN 99.5, KTLK 100.3, KDWB 101.3, KEEY 102.1 ("K102"), WLTE 102.9 ("Lite FM"), and KZJK 104.1 ("Jack FM").

In 2001, a painter working on the tower was killed when he fell partway down the structure.
