Communications Tower Space
WCMU Public Media has served central and northern Michigan for decades — and the infrastructure that makes that possible is available to you.
Our tower network spans 12 locations across Michigan's Lower and Upper Peninsulas, from the Sault Ste. Marie area in the north to the Mount Pleasant region in the south. These towers sit at elevations ranging from 130 to over 1,177 feet, with ground-level elevations that put your signal above the terrain where it counts. Whether you're a wireless carrier, a two-way radio operator, or a broadband provider looking to fill a gap in your coverage map, WCMU's tower sites offer proven infrastructure in strategic locations.
Leasing space on an existing tower is often the fastest, most cost-effective path to expanded coverage. WCMU's sites are licensed, maintained, and supported by the experienced broadcast engineering staff of a public media institution with more than 50 years of operational history. You're not just getting steel in the air — you're getting a partner with a long-term stake in keeping that infrastructure running.
