Helicopter replaces antenna on WSB-TV tower near BeltLine
The operation went off without a hitch, and now a brand-new, 7,200-pound antenna towers above the city. The new antenna is 50-feet long, so the tower now stands 915-feet tall.

What is WSB-TV tower
- WSB-TV operates from a prominent broadcast tower in Atlanta’s Old Fourth Ward near Freedom Parkway and the Historic Fourth Ward Park skate park. The tower is a tall, guyed mast used to transmit television signals across the metro area. It has historically been one of the most visible broadcast structures in Atlanta.
Where to look for the latest news
- Local Atlanta outlets and WSB-TV’s own site are the most reliable sources for recent developments related to the tower, such as maintenance, antenna upgrades, or any temporary closures. Check:
- WSB-TV News (wsbtv.com) local/tower-related stories, and their tower cam pages if they post operational updates.
- General local news coverage from outlets like WSB-TV’s sister sites or Atlanta-area news aggregators.
- If you want broader historical context, you can review sources like Wikipedia for background on the tower’s height and history, though that won’t capture the latest events.
Illustrative note
- A notable past event involved maintenance work on the tower where technicians replaced a large antenna and the operation required aerial equipment like a helicopter, illustrating the scale of tower operations in urban environments. This example is from a historical report about WSB-TV’s antenna upgrade in Atlanta.
