message: At $3 a foot you cant afford many climbs on this baby.
*Actually it's something more like $250 a foot, seeing at it cost somewhere over $500k. --Alexwcovington 07:05, 28 Nov 2004 (UTC)

message: I'm positive that shortly after the tower's completion, it was donated to the North Dakota University System for tax reasons, though KTHI got permanent use and maintenance responsibilities.  However, I couldn't find anything to back this up.  I'll have to keep checking.

message: Anyone got any ideas about why the government banned taller buildings?
All larger North Dakota cities (grand forks, gargo, bismarck) have a limit on the height of buildings due to strong winds associated with the area.
:This is not true, and is also irrelevant- the FAA inacted the hight limit, which means it has to do with aviation. -JWGreen 00:44, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: A helicopter did not hit this tower, it hit the nearby KXJB tower. The tower's original hight is 2,063. It has not been replaced.-JWGreen 00:44, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

text: The FAA doesn't allow towers higher than 2,063 ft- however that rule was enacted after the tower was erected. -JWGreen 04:20, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

message: Can somebody include the coordinates of the KVLY? It would make easier to locate it in Google maps. Thanks.
:Just added the coordinate template, should help everyone. --Bobak 18:41, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Position in Google Maps? 

message: I removed the statement added by an IP user that the tower hight had been surpassed by Burj Dubai as of yesturday, as the official website for the tower still lists its hight at 604.9 metershttp://www.burjdubai.com/. -JWGreen (talk) 19:14, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: How many years has to pass by since the Russian tower collapsed before the KVLY tower becomes the second tallest structure? :)

 # Can somebody post a picture taken at the top, please? Maybe KVLY has some in their archive.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Suprahili (talk • contribs) 04:25, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, the official website now lists it as 629 metres and it hasn't been updated in almost two months. It is now taller than the KVLY-TV Mast. 24.226.77.23 (talk) 13:29, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Two questions 

message: 100 miles; are you kidding me? That must mean that's how far it goes till it hits the ground; surly it could easily be received at 120 miles or better considering the average TV station is received easy enough at over 60 miles; and up to 100 in cases. In fact, looking at it that way; it should be receivable at 150 miles. Daniel Christensen (talk) 08:23, 14 November 2009 (UTC)

message: The KVLY-TV mast says it was completed on August 13, 1963. The WIMZ-FM article says its mast was completed in September 1963. So when exactly did the WIMZ-FM mast hold the world height record? jnestorius(talk) 15:04, 11 May 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Discrepancy of dates for record 

message: The Wikipedia article on lattice towers says that lattice towers are free-standing, i.e. no guy wires, yet the KVLY-TV mast article describes it as a lattice tower.Ormewood (talk) 20:35, 20 January 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Is this a "lattice tower"? 

message: Based on the construction dates listed elsewhere here on Wikipedia, it would appear that this tower was the first human-made structure to exceed 2,000 feet in height. This might be worth noting. 68.146.52.234 (talk) 00:39, 10 April 2015 (UTC)

message: This tower is no longer 2,063 feet. The top mount "bat wing" antenna was removed as part of the repack project, and the overall tower height has been reduced from 2,063 feet to 1,987 feet, per the FCC ASR records. The ASR record was modified in October 2019 to reflect the change in height. The article and others referencing this tower should be adjusted.

replies: text: I can not find any references which confirm or refute this, except for the height. For example, the provided link only lists the height, but it does not explicitly state that the height was reduced, or which kind of antenna was removed, or which project was the cause for this action. This is not only an issue in this artice, but also over at KRDK-TV mast.--77.20.248.68 (talk) 23:06, 12 June 2022 (UTC)
