Coming to you live from far above the royal poinciana and palms, it's LPTV!
Local Paradise TeleVision (formerly Lynn Parker TeleVision) ran for years only on VHF channels. Mostly ghostly broadcasts of ancient John Wayne serial episodes and re-runs of "I dream of Jeanie", it somehow got bought out by Comcast, the cable company.
They built this transmitter and the story goes that some poor guy fell off it during construction. For his sacrifice, we now have crystal clear broadcasts of ancient John Wayne serial episodes and re-runs of "I dream of Jeanie".
. . .T.V., Technology without Vision.
