 List of masts - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A mast is a man-made support structure, commonly used on sailing ships as support for sails, or on land as radio masts and towers used to support telecommunication equipment such as radio antennas ("aerials" in the UK).
Most of the taller masts are located in the United States, where a prevalence of masts of around 2000 feet (609.6 m) in height is the result of special rules in that country limiting structures and objects taller than 2000 feet.
The Petronius Compliant Tower is an oil platform standing 2100 ft or 640 m (to the top of the spire) and is the tallest non-guyed structure in existence but is mostly underwater.

 History of WTVA
A new site was chosen for the transmitter and tower which not only put Columbus, Mississippi, within the city grade coverage but also resulted in one of the largest geographic coverage areas in the country.
A new 1590 foot tower and a new transmitter building were constructed near Woodland, Mississippi, some 40 miles away from the studio.
Today WTVA has an operation undreamed of in the 1950's with an expanded news department featuring some of the finest journalists in the nation and electronic news gathering utilizing satellite uplink and extensive portable microwave equipment.

 WTVA
WTWV built a brand-new tower in 1979 that not only brought a city-grade signal to Columbus for the first time, but gave the station one of the largest coverage areas in the country.
It is expected that WTVA will be required to make the changeover soon, as the FCC's deadline for nationwide affiliate conversion to HD is January 7, 2007.
One criticism among some WTVA viewers is the use of an on-screen logo at a corner of a television screen, commonly referred to as a station bug.

 List of masts - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
There is often crossover in term usage as some skyscraper use the tower term, some towers use the mast term, and ironically 'skyscraper' has some word heritage from references to high sailboat masts.
Top masts are ranked by pinnacle height; in the case of a tie, the older structure is ranked as higher.

In May 1985, News Corp agreed to pay $1.55 billion to acquire independent television stations in six major U.S. Except for KDAF (which was sold to Tribune in 1995 and joined The WB after Fox affiliated with, then later bought VHF station KDFW), all of these stations are still part of Fox today.
Fox News chairman Roger Ailes is now also chairman of the Fox Television Stations division, and has been pushing for the network's OandO stations to have a more uniform image and presentation in their newscasts.
Some Fox stations decide to pass along Fox's 4Kids TV block to another station in their market (either an independent station or a UPN affiliate) so they can air general entertainment or local news programming in the Saturday morning slot.

NAB suggests that the construction deadline be staggered on a market-by-market basis, in which large-market stations have six years, and small-market stations have three or six additional years, to complete construction, and in addition that waivers for problems such as zoning approvals also be available.
Such circumstances include, but are not limited to, the inability to construct and place in operation a facility necessary for transmitting DTV, such as a tower, because of delays in obtaining zoning or FAA approvals, or similar constraints, or the lack of equipment necessary to transmit a DTV signal.
And, due to the introduction of other services, broadcasters who need new towers, will be able to lease space on their new towers to mobile service providers, further lowering the costs of converting.

There is one digital antenna with four parts, and each part of the antenna has the capability of handling more than one signal.

It states that because of the mountainous terrain around the reference coordinates, an antenna 100 meters above average terrain requires the construction of a tower of 1,222 feet.
However, given that the site is only 4.3 kilometers from the Jackson County Airport, it believes that approval by the Federal Aviation Administration is unlikely.
