[BC] re: Old Abandoned Radio Stations

[First Step Productions - Dave Golterman]

Here are some pictures of the demise of the former studios of KATL-AM in 
Miles City.  The station began broadcasting in the late 40's on 1340 khz 
and moved to 770 khz I believe in the 80's.  The studios are now 
co-located with the Miles City Star newspaper which owns the stand alone AM.

 From what I understand, the fire was a controlled burn, as the building 
had been donated to the local fire department for practice.  Pretty sad 
end to the building.  I forgot to check to see what was on the lot when 
I was in Miles City earlier this spring.  But I believe it's still 
empty, awaiting a developers plans to be approved.  The real estate 
around the station has gotten fairly valuable I imagine as there's a 
Super Walmart just down the street and that part of Miles City is fast 
food row.
