KRDK-TV mast

The KRDK-TV mast is a television transmitting tower 3.5 miles (5.6 km) northeast of Galesburg in Traill County, North Dakota, United States. It was completed in 1966 and is used by KRDK-TV (formerly KXJB-TV), which is licensed to Valley City, serving the Fargo and Grand Forks TV markets. At 627.8 metres (2, 060 ft), it is currently the tallest structure in the Western Hemisphere and the sixth-tallest structure in the world. It stands 72.8 ft (22.2 m) taller than the nearby KVLY-TV mast in Blanchard, North Dakota, which was previously 1 metre (3.3 ft) taller until the removal of a VHF antenna reduced its height in 2019. The KRDK-TV antenna has an effective radiated power (ERP) of 285 kW. The station and tower are owned by Major Market Broadcasting. It replaced the station's previous mast, a 1,085-foot (331 m) tower 15 miles (24 km) northeast of Valley City, North Dakota (or southwest of Pillsbury) which was sold to KOVC, an AM radio station.
