2008_05_25 Visit to a doomed TV transmitter site

A visit to the WLNE/Channel 6 transmitter site near Providence, Rhode Island. The 1000-foot tall tower is one of the many (including 2000-foot towers) abandoned after all U.S. television stations converted to digital broadcasting in February-June 2008. Common knowledge of that conversion is being built in a free and open way — at least for those who are hip to the tech. Start the tour here.
