	Žižkov Television Tower - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The structure of the tower is unconventional; it consists of three concrete pillars that carry cabinets for the transmitters, a restaurant and cafe, and three observation rooms.
		The tower is 216 metres high, with the observation decks at 100 metres and the tower restaurant and cafe situated at 63 metres in the lower 'pods'.
		Although official criticism during the time of its construction was impossible, unofficially the tower was lambasted for its 'megalomania', its 'jarring' effect on the Prague skyline, and for destroying part of a cemetery situated near the tower's foundations.

	Zizkov TV tower, Czech Republic. Travel guide & tourist information by Hostelbookers.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		At over 100m in height, the Zizkov TV tower (Televizní vysílac; daily 10am–11pm; 120Kc), is the tallest (and the most unpopular) building in Prague.
		Begun in the 1970s in a desperate bid to jam West German television transmission, the tower became fully operational only in the 1990s.
		In the course of its construction, however, the Communists saw fit to demolish part of a nearby Jewish cemetery, that had served the community between 1787 and 1891; a small section survives to the northwest of the tower.

	A tough Prague neighborhood starts attracting visitors
		But slowly, with its own seedy charm, Zizkov is also changing and now has become more of an attraction for tourists, not to mention young Czechs looking for cheap places to live near downtown.
		Zizkov has long been poor and working class (Vaclav Havel's late wife, Olga, beloved in part for her humble roots, called herself a "girl from Zizkov"), even a little dangerous.
		These days, what Zizkov has — for more adventurous tourists who may well have overdosed on the beauty in every nook of downtown Prague — is a mix of what the city once was and is now becoming.

		Built in 1985 primarily to be taller than anything else in the city, the tower broadcasts its signal from so great a height that much of the surrounding area has no television signal, a slight for which the affected residents were initially remunerated with free cable.
