Clear Channel Broadcasting Tower Redfield
Clear Channel Broadcasting Tower Redfield is a tall guyed mast located at Redfield, Arkansas, USA at 34°26′31″N, 92°13′4″W. Clear Channel Broadcasting Tower Redfield was completed in 1985 and is 1,898.9 feet (578.8 m) high.
Its current FCC registration says it was built in 2001, but that is clearly in error; the tower has been in place ever since KASN, the TV station for which it was originally constructed, went on the air in 1986. The 1985 date given above is from an old application filed with the FCC on the date the FCC now says the tower was built (August 22, 2001). Clear Channel Communications acquired the tower when it acquired KASN. The other television tower near Redfield, the KATV Tower, also has an incorrect construction date on its FCC registration; but its date is off by only two years, not 16.
In addition to the analog and digital transmitters of KASN and the transmitter of Clear Channel-owned FM radio station KHLR, it also hosts the digital transmitter of KETS, the flagship station of the Arkansas Educational Television Network; its analog transmitter is located on the nearby KATV Tower.
