[BC] 2000 ft. Digital TV tower for Chicago

[Rob Atkinson]

Today's Chicago Tribune has a front page report of a plan to construct a 
2000 foot high freestanding structure downtown in the Streeterville 
neighborhood that would consist of 3 legs braced at different heights, and 
tapering into 3 spires at around the 1500 foot point.   A significant 
purpose is that it serve as a location for digital TV antennas.    At this 
point, it is only a plan and faces several hurdles which could cause it to 
vaporize.    It would not be a office building but more like CN Tower, 
higher than that but not as high as the TV tower in Fargo.

The story also mentioned talks in the past amongst local TV stations in 
which the possibility of some kind of co-op free standing TV tower in the 
west suburbs or near west side had been considered.
