Summary

Description
English: This tower was built by the Yankee Network to house its WNAC-TV (channel 7) and WRKO (98.5). When General Tire and Rubber lost its broadcast licenses, the company sold WNAC-TV's physical plant to the new licensee, New England Television's WNEV. However, General Tire was able to keep the FM (by then WROR) for several more years; it moved to the FM-128 tower, as the new owners of channel 7 did not want it to remain on their tower. This is the shortest of the four main Newton-Needham towers, the only self-supporter, and the only one still owned by a broadcast licensee (the other three all now being owned by American Tower).
