WRAL Tradition Transforms TV Tower Into Tree
Posted December 2, 2002 6:16 a.m. EST
RALEIGH, N.C. — A WRAL-TV holiday tradition continues as the station's 300-foot TV tower was transformed into a 300-foot Christmas tree.
The tradition started more than 40 years ago, with 2,890 colored lights on the tower that keep it glowing throughout the holiday season. Three 5-foot stars adorn the top.
Our lit tower has won a community appearance award from the Citizen's Advisory Council of Raleigh, and raves from passers-by.
Located at the WRAL-TV Studios on Western Boulevard in Raleigh, the lighted tower can be seen for miles through the New Year.
