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!

CYBER MONDAY AND GIVING TUESDAY (GIVING TO YOU)!

And we have two deals for you.

You can buy the Tower Site Calendar for $1 off, which applies to all the add-ons.

And if you order the Broadcast Historian’s Calendar and add on the Tower Site Calendar, you get $2 off.

Don’t wait. Order your calendars today.

If you already ordered the tower calendar, please email me and I’ll help you add it on.
