Sucha Góra TV Tower, Television tower in Krosno, Poland
Sucha Góra TV Tower is a concrete structure reaching 116 meters high, positioned at roughly 585 meters elevation and housing multiple broadcasting facilities. It transmits television and radio signals across a large area of southeastern Poland to reach viewers and listeners in several cities.
Construction began in 1960 based on plans developed in 1958 to expand media coverage across the southeastern region. This concrete structure represented an important step in improving broadcast reach for the area.
The tower served as a focal point for regional radio broadcasting and shaped how people received news and entertainment across several communities. Its presence in the landscape became familiar to residents across multiple cities relying on its signals.
The elevated location allows signal distribution across a wide area and the structure is visible from nearby roads and trails. Access to the site itself is generally restricted, but the tower can be observed from public viewpoints around the perimeter.
Engineers chose reinforced concrete instead of a traditional steel mast design, which was an unusual choice for the time. This decision gave the structure a distinctive appearance that set it apart from other transmission towers of that era.
