With the transition of ownership of the former "Channel 4 tower" to 
Richland Towers, I'm hearing it being referred to now as simply the 
"Richland Tower."

It will be interesting to see how much blame gets apportioned to 
Richland for the antenna failure - presumably it's their master antenna 
and transmission line now?
