Video of former WOR transmission towers being demolishedThree giant radio towers alongside the New Jersey Turnpike were demolished on Thursday. Police in Lyndhurst had approved the demolition, after halting an earlier planned demolition in September. Police had cited safety concerns and the possibility some people might confuse the demolition with a terrorist attack. The 700-foot tall towers were owned by WOR (710 kHz) and had been a landmark on the turnpike for more than 40 years. The station says the towers came down at around 11 am Thursday morning
(1600 UTC), after one of the wires that anchors the structure was loosened.
The station’s signal is now broadcast from a new set of towers and
transmitter a half-mile north in Rutherford
