KOBR-TV Tower, Television tower in Caprock, New Mexico
The KOBR-TV Tower is a broadcasting structure in Caprock reaching approximately 490 meters tall and stabilized by tensioned cables. The metal framework supports multiple antennas that transmit signals across the southeastern region.
An earlier broadcasting tower collapsed during severe weather in 1960 and halted transmission service. The current structure was built afterward to restore television coverage across the area.
The station provides local news and entertainment programming to viewers across southeastern New Mexico. The broadcast schedule reflects the interests and needs of communities throughout the region.
The location is accessible for viewing from a distance in the Caprock area southeast of Roswell. Visitors should observe the tower from afar since it contains active broadcasting equipment.
During the tower's early broadcasting years, technicians and their families lived on site in housing specifically built for operational staff. This arrangement allowed continuous maintenance and monitoring of the equipment.
