NJ Radio Tower Demolition Postponed



NEW YORK -- Three giant radio towers -- that have been a fixture alongside the New Jersey Turnpike -- still stand in Lyndhurst, New Jersey. WOR radio had planned to take down the towers Wednesday. But the station says Lyndhurst police stopped the demolition because of security concerns.

Station spokesman Paul Siebold says there is no new date for the demolition.

The 700-foot tall towers are owned by WOR radio in New York. They've been a landmark on the turnpike for more than 40 years. The radio station says a new set of towers and transmitter site a half-mile north in Rutherford carries the station's signal.
