WTNI Biloxi to get new, shorter tower

In a construction permit recently issued by the FCC, WTNI will be allowed to replace the existing 350 foot antenna (most likely dating back to when the station was on 570 kHz as WVMI) with a shorter tower.  The shorter tower, being only 195 feet tall, will not need to be lit.  Upon completion of the new tower, WTMI should return to using 10 kW day power.  Since November, they have been operating under a special temporary authority to use just 2.5 kW days from a shortened version of the existing corroded tower.
