SPOKANE, Wash – The helicopter hovering over South Regal in Spokane Saturday is demolishing a historic radio tower.
The KXLY-AM tower was built in 1937 and has helped spread the radio signal for the station ever since.
The 469-foot tower near the south complex soccer fields and across from Target has become costly to maintain.
The station built a smaller tower nearby and stopped using the old tower last month.
A helicopter is taking down the tower piece by piece. That work should wrap up Saturday afternoon.
