Excerpt from Wikipedia
Çamlıca TRT Television Tower (Turkish:TRT Çamlıca Verici İstasyonu) is a communication tower in Üsküdar district of Istanbul, Turkey. It is owned and operated by the state-owned Turkish Radio and Television Corporation (TRT).
The tower is located on Büyük Çamlıca Hill (literally:Big Çamlıca Hill) at 268 m (879 ft) above main sea level. The construction of the tower began by March 1972, and it was completed in July 1976. Test broadcasting for single-frequency network (SFN) from the transmitter began on February 3, 2006. The tower has a total height of 166 m (545 ft) with the 148 m (486 ft) highconical concrete tower and a steel mast atop. On May 21, 2010, a fire broke out at the tower's 80 m (260 ft) height. The fire caused damage to the transmitter, and the broadcasting was interrupted until the damage was removed.
With the completion of the Küçük Çamlıca TV Radio Tower on the neighborung hill, the steel transmitter masts, which cause visual pollution and are considered to be harmful to health, will be removed and integrated in both towers.
