is
a
television
transmitting
mast
in
Traill
County,

ft
(630 m),
it
is
currently
the

and
the

world.
It
stands
72.8 ft
(22.2 m)
taller
than
the
nearby
KVLY-TV
mast
in
Blanchard,
North

which
was
previously

Located
3.5
miles
(5.6 km)
northeast
of

(331 m)
tower
15
miles
(24 km)
northeast
of
Valley
City,
North
Dakota
(or

which
was
sold
to
KOVC,
an
AM
radio
station.
The
KRDK-TV
antenna
has
an
effective
radiated
power
(ERP)
of
285
