The builders of 1 World Trade Center in New York plan to offer to transmit radio and television signals from the skyscraper’s spire, potentially competing with the Empire State Building.
The Durst Organization is close to an agreement with the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which owns the 1,776-foot tower under construction in lower Manhattan, to build and operate an broadcast antenna atop the building, they said today in a joint statement. The Durst Organization oversees the development as an equity partner with the bi-state agency.
