The Channel 9 TV Tower also known as the Willoughby Tower or the TCN-9 TXA TV Tower, was a free-standing lattice tower located in the Sydney suburb of Willoughby at 6 Artarmon Road. It was built adjacent to its studios as the broadcast tower for TCN 9, the Sydney flagship television station of the Nine Network. The tower had a square cross section with a base width of 112 feet. 347 tons of steel were used in its construction.[1]
Completed in 1965, the tower stood 233 m (765 ft) tall and was the tallest free-standing lattice tower in Australia.[2] The tower was the tallest structure in Sydney until the Sydney Tower was completed in 1981. Demolition of the tower commenced in April 2021 after TCN 9 relocated to North Sydney with work completed in November 2021.[3]
