K/MEN Towers

In light of the KHJ Towers coming down.  Here are pictures of the K/MEN Towers a few years ago.  As far as I know the towers are still there, but the building is not.

What date were these fotos taken?
It must have been after ABC/Disney took over and abandoned the site for the kiddie satellite broadcasts.

The pictures were taken around 2001/2002, soon after the fire that damaged the building.

Looking at a satellite view via maps.google.com there have been a lot of development in the KMEN area since the 196o's. The old route into the cow pasture from Baseline has been replaced with an entry from Bessant Street. A formalized drainage channel nearby seems like it would have done away with that cow pasture feeling. Now it's just towers in a dirt field.

"Looking at a satellite view"
to what that famous site once
looked and represented...

Sad, then, the remaining KITO/KMEN radio antenna towers like lonely sentinels standing watch over a past glory which no longer exists.

C'est le vie.

Hey, I didn't know about the KHJ radio towers coming down. When did that happen, does anyone know? How did it come about and where were they located?
