This brings back memories… I grew up in Fargo and I remember driving past this massive tower a number of times. All the photos you see of it just don’t do this structure justice. When I was a kid the TV station was called KTHI-11 but the name was changed a few years back to KVLY-11. The tower is still just as impressive as it once was and is once again the worlds tallest supported structure. It was pushed to second tallest by a transmitter tower in Poland in 1974 but that tower collapsed in 1991. At a height of 2,062 feet it serves the North Dakota and Minnesota area with a footprint of over 190 miles in diameter.
