Site of the Week Special: The Towers of Florida

Photos and text by SCOTT FYBUSH

As we watch anxiously from up north to see what path Hurricane Irma will take across Florida, we’re thinking of all our friends (broadcast and otherwise) in the Sunshine State, and of the broadcast facilities that will soon be facing nature’s fury.

In 2011 and again in 2015, we had the opportunity to spend extended periods traversing much of Florida and documenting nearly all the towers (and many studios) from Jacksonville all the way down to Miami.

Here are links to all of the pieces we presented in this space from those two visits – and here’s hoping all these towers and buildings survive the winds and the rain, that the recovery is quick and that our friends in Florida stay safe!

2026 CALENDAR SOLD OUT!

Our customers are the best. Seriously, you rock!

We got our reprint last week, and the calendars were quickly spoken for.

If you had any trouble of any kind with an order, please email Lisa right away. We’ll try to work something out for you.

But if you want tower pinups (that’s what they are!), we have calendars from 2023 and earlier — and each edition is only $1. Check our store page or email Lisa if you’re looking for a specific year.
