November 29, 2006FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASEContact: Kerry Faggiano Manager of Corporate Marketing & Outreach 509.354.7748 KSPS Tower and Antenna CollapseSPOKANE, 29, November — At approximately 2:50am on November 29, 2006, the KSPS broadcast antenna and tower located on Krell Hill, or commonly referred to as Tower Mountain, collapsed. Approximately 200 feet or 1/3 of the complete structure fell to the ground. We have made contact with the tower structural engineer who will travel to Spokane today to assist us in determining damage and develop a recovery plan. At this point we have lost our ability to provide an off-air broadcast service to viewers in the Spokane region. While we are still able to provide service to Canada and most area cable companies, we are grateful to KAYU, KHQ, KREM, KWSU, KXLY, and Comcast cable for their offers of assistance by providing short term broadcast tower and antenna use through their equipment. We will provide additional information as to the cause of our tower collapse and impending reconstruction as soon as it becomes available. |
