Broadcasters Return to One World Trade Center
NEW YORK—More than 14 years after the events of Sept. 11, 2001, the Durst Broadcasting organization announced that broadcasters will return to One World Trade Center, using the 1,776-foot skyscraper as their primary broadcasting center for the New York/New Jersey Markets.
CBS, NBCUniversal-owned WNBC and WNJU, and PBS were all previously located at One World Trade Center before the attacks on the Twin Towers. The new tower will house the broadcaster’s transmission equipment on the 90th floor, which will also serve as the communications hub for the entire building. Broadcast antennae will wrap portions of the spire and ancillary equipment will be housed on the building’s communications rings.
“We are very proud to welcome CBS, NBCUniversal-owned WNBC and WNJU and PBS back to One World Trade Center,” said John Lyons, assistant vice president and director of Broadcast Communications for The Durst Organization. “Our world-class facility will provide the infrastructure and service our tenants need to maximize their broadcast operations. We look forward to working with other potential broadcasters and telecommunications companies and introducing them to our facility at One World Trade Center.”
While Durst also hopes to attract radio tenants to its RF facility, none have yet signed on.
GatesAir is providing its over-the-air technology and RF service expertise to broadcasters testing over-the-air TV coverage from One World Trade Center in New York.
Radio Frequency Systems (RFS), a manufacturer of broadcast antennas and RF components, is providing a test broadcasting solution for One World Trade Center (One WTC) in New York City.
