WBNS TV Tower


The WBNS TV Tower is a tall free-standing lattice tower with a triangular cross section formerly used by WBNS-TV in Columbus, Ohio.
When originally completed in August 1948, the tower stood tall making it one of the tallest freestanding towers in the United States at that time. The towers height was later increased to its current level in 1955 at which point it became the second tallest lattice tower in the United States after the WTVR TV Tower which had been built two years prior in 1953. The tower remains to this day the tallest free-standing structure in Columbus, Ohio and one of the tallest in the country. In 1981 WBNS-TV and WBNS-FM broadcast were switched over to an even taller guyed candelabra tower located directly adjacent to the WNBS Tower standing in height. WCMH-TV and most of Columbus' FM radio stations also broadcast from the candelabra tower.
