[Photograph 2012.201.OVZ001.6992]

Photograph used for a story in the Daily Oklahoman newspaper. Caption: "Rising 915 feet into the air, the new WKY radio tower, east of Britton, has been 280,000 pounds of steel, stands on a single pedestal and is one of the tallest radio towers in the United States. It also is one of the tallest man-made structures in this state, nearly twice as tall as the First National Bank building in downtown Oklahoma City. The tower has been completed as a part of WKY's post-war planning. It is fabricated to carry an additional antenna system at the top for frequency modulation broadcasting and television. The great height of the tower will give a stronger carrier wave, with an almost perfect signal throughout the WKY listening zone. Plans are for WKY to start broadcasting from the new transmitter station by late summer or early autumn. When completed the project, one and one-half miles east of Britton, will represent an investment of more than a quarter of a million dollars."
