We are just weeks away from having News Channel 7’s new tower on Hogback Mountain beaming our signal.

Edgar Woodfin, the station’s Engineering/Transmitter Supervisor, tells me the new tower hopefully should be transmitting by September 15th.  General Manager Phil Lane told station employees at a staff meeting today that the target date remains September 1st.

The construction consists of a primary tower that will hold News Channel 7’s new main and new back-up antennas.

The tower will be 459 feet high, same as the old one, but designed stronger.

Sundays at 11 am, News Channel 7 presents a live broadcast of the worship service at First Baptist Spartanburg.

The First Baptist broadcast has been presented, without interruption, every Sunday since November 21, 1956.

It is by far the longest-running program in WSPA-TV’s history.

And from now on, when I watch the service, I will remember Frank Owen Ezell of Spartanburg.
