The KVLY-TV mast (formerly the KTHI-TV mast) is a television transmitting tower in North Dakota, USA, used by Fargo station KVLY channel 11.
It became the tallest artificial structure upon the completion of its construction on August 13, 1963.
The mast was surpassed in height by 18 m (57 ft) in 1974 by the Warszawa radio mast near Konstantynow, Poland, but the latter collapsed on August 8, 1991, making the KVLY mast again the tallest structure on land.
Omneon Video Networks today announced that the duopoly of KVLY TV 11 (NBC affiliate) and KXJB TV 4 (CBS affiliate) serving the Fargo and Valley City areas of North Dakota has deployed an Omneon Spectrum™ media server system for playout from a joint master control room.
The modular Omneon Spectrum server system also offers exceptional flexibility in scaling system components and capacity cost-effectively, so KVLY and KXJB will be able to expand the system in small or large increments as desired.
KVLY TV 11 and KXJB TV 4 are, respectively, NBC and CBS affiliate stations serving eastern North Dakota and western Minnesota.
Fargo: Room Enough For Everyone(Site not responding. Last check: )
KVLY covers an area larger than Connecticut, the District of Columbia, Hawaii, Massachusetts, and New Jersey, with 1,000 square miles to spare.
Two stations in Fargo, KVLY, the NBC affiliate, and KXJB (CBS), cover their viewing areas with unusually large towers.
According to Charley Johnson, KVLY general manager, his station originally built the tower in order to cover both Grand Forks, ND and Fargo, which are about 75 miles apart.
