The twin radio towers that stood atop the Star-News building on Colorado Boulevard for 64 years were dismantled and hauled away Saturday.
The newspaper said the 125-foot structures, each of which was adorned with 5-foot-high letters spelling out “Star-News,” were a potential safety hazard.
The antennas on the towers were used by radio station KPPC-AM, which has made other arrangements, said Joe Blackstock, general manager and editor of the paper.
