The TV tower in Kyiv has been hit.

The Office of the President of Ukraine has reported that broadcasting equipment has been hit.

The office stated that TV channels will temporarily be unavailable but reserve broadcasting capacities will be deployed as soon as possible. Additionally, several channels can be streamed via YouTube and the Megogo service.

Destroyed a nearby Holocaust Memorial as well.

and the tower is still standing ....

"THE TV tower"? They don't have multiples?

[qam1]

I wonder what they were really aiming at

[dayglored]

But probably the equipment at the base of the tower is a pile of slag now.

I thought TV towers were obsolete these days...

And Putin's missile attack hit the Baba Yar Holocaust cemetery and memorial

Ermak on the attack on Babyn Yar: Holocaust victims are being killed for the second time

The head of the President's Office Andriy Yermak stressed that the Russians had fired a rocket at the Kyiv TV tower, near which the Babyn Yar memorial complex is located.

Literally : "It is at this time that a powerful rocket attack is underway on the territory where the Babin Yar memorial complex is located! These villains are killing Holocaust victims for the second time."

Even digital signals need to be broadcast, and they still need high towers to get the signal out.

[dayglored]

Hardly. Regular broadcast is still very much alive.

Remember, you don't pay a cable charge, or internet account charge, for broadcast channels.

And a family. Scene looked like Pompeii. Horrible.

“I thought TV towers were obsolete these days...”

They are here. Only a tiny fraction of television viewers don’t have cable.

I’m not sure about the situation in Ukraine. In poorer countries I expect broadcast to be more popular.

[cgbg]

I get that—but the broadcaster could still broadcast online without a tower, right?

So, destroying the tower would not cut off the signal unless the Internet was cutoff as well?

“Holocaust victims are being killed for the second time”

Really topnotch propaganda there. Really makes me want to go out and kill some Russkies. /s

[dforest]

Ah geez, cut the crap. Dead is dead.

[hoagy62]

That is true.

One thing I will never do is stand on the side of Hillary Clinton like people on this site do. They stand for Klaus Schwab and Hillary.

If she is thrilled about it, the issue stinks like cabbage and farts.

I thought TV towers were obsolete these days

Not quite, as they attach UHF/VHF repeater antennas, microwave systems, cell repeaters to them, etc etc...In fact, with my little TV over the air antenna, I get over 60 FREE channels via my television antenna pointed at a TV tower 20 miles away.
