Tower array 614980
Louisville, Kentucky · Jefferson County
Overview
Structure 614980 about 17 km (11 mi) from Louisville, KY is recorded in the FCC's Antenna Structure Registration database as a tower array element measuring 147 m (483 ft) tall.
Of the 170 structures registered about 17 km (11 mi) from Louisville, KY, this is the 2nd tallest.
The structure is registered to New Albany Broadcasting CO., INC., which holds 3 registrations across Kentucky.
Using the standard radio-horizon formula, an antenna at 147 m has a theoretical sightline of 50 km (31.1 mi). Terrain and obstructions reduce this in practice, often substantially.

About this record
One element of a 3-tower array. Multi-tower arrays are typically AM broadcast antennas, where the towers work together to shape the signal in a particular direction.
Details on this page come from the FCC's public ASR file. The register records the physical structure and its owner; it does not list the antennas mounted on it or the networks they serve.
"Owner" is the entity that registered the structure, usually a tower company such as American Tower or Crown Castle. It does not indicate which carriers operate equipment on the structure.
