Was there ever a time when the airwaves could carry a voice across thousands of miles? The WCCO-AM Tower stands as a testament to that bygone era, a steel giant reaching 654 feet into the Minnesota sky. Built in 1939, the WCCO-AM Tower isn’t just an impressive structure. It’s a beacon that has broadcast the sounds of Minnesota, and beyond, for almost a century. Originally owned by the Washburn Crosby Company, you might recognize their initials – WCCO! The station’s 50,000-watt power, the maximum allowed, made it a force in early radio. From its earliest days, the WCCO-AM Tower was a lifeline during emergencies, especially for severe weather alerts. The “klaxon” tone, now retired, became synonymous with seeking shelter. Imagine farmers across the state relying on WCCO-AM for weather reports, connecting them to a wider world. That’s the legacy of the WCCO-AM Tower: a symbol of connection, information, and entertainment that continues to resonate today.
