KCBS-TV/FM Tower (formerly the KNXT/KNX-FM Tower) is a 296.4 meter (972 ft) high guyed radio/television tower on Mount Wilson above Los Angeles (near the Mount Wilson Observatory) at 123 CBS Lane.[1] The KCBS-TV/FM Tower was built in 1986.[2] It was owned by CBS Corporation and allocated for KCBS-TV (Channel 2) and KCBS-FM (93.1 MHz, 27,500 watts) respectively. As the switch to digital TV was planned, both CBS transmitters were installed in the Channel 9 building and combined onto one single antenna.[citation needed] The guyed tower facility, the westernmost on Mount Wilson, was sold in November 2009 to Richland Towers whose headquarters are situated in Tampa, Florida.[3] However, as part of the spectrum auction repack, KCBS-TV moved back to the tower.
