At the top, where the analog channel 2 antennas (the first was, as I recall, a turnstile/batwing thing, and the second was a circularly polarized thig) stood for most of the tower's history, are KDOC/56, radiating on channel 12. Below that is KCBS/2, radiating on channel 31. Mouse over for details on those and the rest.
