The discovery that tower heights are being renegotiated with the developers has set off protests from civic groups and local leaders.

After city planners raised objections to the height, the tower height was reduced by 44 feet.

The new tower cost $72.6 million and is 336 feet tall, more than double the old tower height.

Often there are restrictions related to flight safety governing maximum allowable tower height.

In 2006, the transmitter's power was increased to 17.2 kilowatts, with the tower height decreasing to compensate.

The situation was ultimately resolved with a relocated transmitter and a tower height reduced from 100 to 85 feet.

Range: typically 2-5 miles depending upon tower height and terrain.

Instead, they have been preoccupied with reducing population density, tower heights and potential impacts on side street property owners.

The station was granted a construction for the originally approved power, directional pattern, and tower height on May 20, 2010.

With the additional power and tower height, the station could be heard from Charlotte in the south to Lexington in the north.
