KMSP TV Tower is a 446.8 meter (1466 feet) high guy-wired aerial mast for the transmission of FM radio and television programs in Shoreview, Minnesota at Template:Coor dms. The structure was apparently the tallest in Minnesota until the construction of the KPXM Tower in 1997.
The tower, which was built in 1971, is owned by KMSP channel 9 of Eden Prairie, Minnesota but is shared by several area broadcasters; WFTC channel 29 (KMSP's sister station) and the Twin Cities Public Television stations, KTCA 2 and KTCI 17. Several FM stations are also on the tower: KQRS 92.5, KXXR 93.7 ("93X"), KTCZ 97.1 ("Cities 97"), KTIS 98.5, KSJN 99.5, KTLK 100.3, KDWB 101.3, KEEY 102.1 ("K102"), WLTE 102.9 ("Lite FM"), and KZJK 104.1 ("Jack FM").
In 2001, a painter working on the tower was killed when he fell partway down the structure.
