Will the news of ION using the antenna of 1WTC for future broadcasting mean dishes to be installed on the crowns ring? This was mentioned quite a few years back when the crown and spire got downgraded as the dishes would fill the ring out.
speaking of the spire, I havenât noticed the beacon in some time. Either itâs busted, turned down, or shut off. Anyone know why?
Itâs on, it just stopped rotating because they donât care enough to fix it. Just like the dead led panels on the base

I love the way the 8 isosceles triangles make it looks like itâs twisting!

WNJU will go on-air from 1 WTC next week when it begins latenight transmission testing, Lyons said.
Already, the stationâs transmitter is in place, and testing into a dummy load has begun.
Over the coming months, the station will be joined by WNBC, WCBS, WPXN and WNET on the building, Lyons said.
WCBS is up next, although it has not yet installed its transmitter in the broadcast room located on the 90th floor of the building, he said.

That explains those terrible lines on the building. Thatâs 5 years and more of dirt on some areas?

Itâs honestly ridiculous this has not been taken care of sooner. The lack of care for what is supposed to be a monumental tower is appalling.

Also, 4 WTC is dreadfully filthy as well and has a window that needs to be replaced on the East face. These towers are so neglected I really donât get why.

What window?
You kinda get a sense of âmehâ from these towers. Maybe cost cutting? I hope the same doesnât happen at 2 WTC.

It just baffles me how careless the PA is with this tower. This is THEIR crown jewel project besides the Oculus, you would think considering their twin towers were destroyed and employees were lost that more care would be given to 1 WTC. Apparently not. They canât even be bothered the spruce up the planter on West Street with nice flowers or replace the dead trees that I saw as well. The planters on the original plaza were always nicely done. Itâs pathetic these days. As for 2 WTCâŠthe LEAST anyone can do is build it as planned whether its Foster BIG. We donât need another watered down tower hereâŠtime to cap off this project the right way. The city deserves it.

Itâs on the east face, I wanna say somewhere between 40-50th floor. Iâve noticed it has needed to be replaced for a while. Sad they canât even be bothered to do that. These towers deserve the VIP treatment.
Really wonder whats going on here at the East Entrance. They have been working at it for weeks now but there are no visible changes as far as I can tell. Hmm.
