Moving Out Day For Prairie Public Television

<< Back

During the summer of 2004, PPTV started the process of dismantling and removing their transmitting equipment from  the tower and from inside the building.

Hurling a transmitter out of a second story doorway and having it crash to the ground is by far the funnest way for getting it out of a building.
