Television station KWWL and radio stations KFMW and KNWS-FM broadcast from this tower. The transmitter site is owned by KWWL's current owner, Allen Media Broadcasting.

The KWWL transmitter site building features running water and a shower, allowing someone to maintain at least rudimentary living conditions. The site has a backup generator for KWWL's digital channel along with KNWS, but not for their analog signal or KFMW.
