CHCH Television Tower
The CHCH Television Tower is a 357.5 metre 1,173 feet-high guyed TV mast located at 481 First Road West in Stoney Creek, Ontario, Canada. The tower houses the primary transmitter for the independent television station CHCH-DT as well as that of CITS-DT, the flagship of the religious Yes TV television system. It is currently the fourth-tallest structure in Canada.
When completed in 1960, the CHCH Television Tower became the tallest structure in Canada. Only six structures built since then have surpassed its height: the CN Tower in Toronto, the Cape Race LORAN-C transmitter, the CBC Tower , the Inco Superstack in Sudbury and the original and replacement guyed mast of the CKX-TV Tower. The CHCH tower ranks thirteenth in height among the tallest structures in the Commonwealth of Nations.
The mast is located on the edge of the Niagara Escarpment, so when viewed from the bottom of the escarpment it appears to be exceptionally tall.Images
