Interesting corporate wants to replace it with a new antenna during times of bankruptcy (again) proceedings.

Anyone know where their backup stick is these days since they demolished the Downers Grove site? Pretty sure that is where it last was.

I believe their aux antenna is at John Hancock.

They built an Aux on the Hancock in 2020 when the Sears Tower didn't have power. They had to rush it on the air because the Aux in Downers Grove was already taken down.
