Crews are still trying to figure out just what caused our 2000 foot broadcast tower in Redfield to fall. The collapse kept us off the air for much of Friday afternoon. The good news is that we are back on the air for most of our viewers, but as you might imagine there's still a lot of cleaning up to do.

Workers are back on scene in Redfield Saturday, inspecting what's left of KATV's 43 year-old broadcast tower. They are trying to figure out what caused the tower to fall Friday after noon.

(Fred Anderson, KATV Engineering Supervisor) "Insurance people are looking at it right now, trying to decide the point of failure, trying to decide if it was actually mechanical or human error."

The once 2nd tallest structure in the world now lays in piles of steel. Remarkably, no one was seriously injured, but crews working to
strengthen the tower had been just minutes away from climbing it to replace cable.

(Anderson) "If it had happened another 1/2 hour later, it would have been a totally different situation here all together."

As cleanup at the site gets underway, station officials are looking ahead.

(Anderson) "We're moving forward. We're not staying where we are. The tower's down. We're doing everything entirely possible we can to get our signal back up and running."

Again, our signal is back up for cable, Dish Network and Direct TV subscribers.
