Sadly, these staples of the information age landscape aren't as dominant as they once were. If you subscribe to cable or satellite television service, as most of us do, then you're not getting your signal through a tower like this one.
Even cable and satellite are slowly giving way to online and mobile content delivery. It's a connected, on-demand, app-driven world that leaves little room for sky-piercing icons of TV's golden age. Free, over-the-air TV that blasts out to a community via a giant antenna is fading to black.
Which makes me a little sad, because when I step out into the chilly pre-dawn air and head to the studio, I can always count on the friendly blinking lights to point me in the right direction. Somehow, the skyline won't be nearly as comforting after they're gone.
Your turn: When you look up in your sky, right now, what do you see?

In Columbus right now there's a little blue with a lot of white and grey puffy clouds.
I plan to be in W.V. in 5 or 6 hours, though. We'll do a redo!

I looked up, and all I can see is unrelenting grey overcast. And a lot of trees waving briskly in a wind that is threatening to get rougher. After all, its only the end of July! Where the English summer has gone to in this part of the UK I do not know!
