Lookout – TV towers about to fall…

TV antenna on Denver’s Lookout Mountain could fall by year end.

Antennas still sprout from Lookout Mountain on the metro area’s western shoulder, but the three tallest towers are slated for demolition, ending a decade-long battle.

The first to go will be the KUSA-Channel 9 tower, followed by the KMGH-Channel 7 tower and then the KCNC-Channel 4 tower.

“The short answer is that by July 2010, all of those towers will be down,” said Don Perez, general manager of the Lake Cedar Group.

The consortium of local TV stations, which also includes KTVD-Channel 20, has erected a 222 metre tower that holds all the stations’ digital equipment.

The Channel 9 and Channel 7 towers should be down by the end of the year, Perez said, unless weather gets in the way.
