WRLP constructed a television mast prior to their debut on May 15, 1957.^[3] That tower had to be taken down in August 1966 after a small aircraft struck a guy wire during dense fog, killing both occupants of the aircraft.^[4][5][6] The existing tower was built as a replacement later that year.^[7] WRLP ceased operation on April 9, 1978,^[8] but the tower remains standing.

As of September 2004, photographs of the tower showed that the antenna assembly atop the mast had been removed,^[9] likely reducing its actual height from its registered height.
