WLW's 50,000 Watt Transmitters

This video covers the four existing 50 kW AM broadcast transmitters at WLW. If you have seen my WLW 500 kW video, this is the segment between Jay on the front steps and inside with the 500 kW transmitter.

More transmitters, more history.

Enjoy the tour of the facility and the history of this high power station. Thanks to Jay, Geoff, and Ted of WLW for hosting the tour.
