WGMD Picture of the Day

By Mari Lou / February 17, 2022

The WGMD Throwback Thursday Picture of the day again takes you back to the summer of 2007. WGMD was in the process of erecting a new tower behind the studios – but it was a process that took quite a long time. After centering the base of the tower on the cement platform, the crews began to raise portions of the tower – the new tower is the smaller of the 2 you can see. You can watch a video slideshow of the construction of WGMD’s new tower (now 15 years old!) at https://youtu.be/ydwNZ3qG6x8 Click for full view
