I remember seeing the old WNEW towers in 1967 on a trip back from Florida.
I only remember seeing the two self supporting towers standing.

The WOR and WNEW sites only had a few years left before they would be moved. The WMGM site must have had its towers in the pre-NJTP configuration with the additional 10kw tower.
The WNEW site, according to the report, had a 3rd smaller stick for 10kw operation, I don't ever recall seeing it in any pictures of the old site. And the building WAS well built as the report indicates... some 44 years after it was abandoned it's still standing.

A friend just forwarded me this link - it's quite interesting - and what's really interesting is that most NYC AM stations at that time did not have the generator capacity to run 50KW.
