KMSP TV Tower is a 446.8 metre (1466 feet) high guy-wired aerial mast for the transmission of FM radio and television programs in Shoreview, Minnesota at 45°03′30″N 93°07′28″W / 45.05833°N 93.12444°W. 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-FM 92.5("KQ92"), KXXR 93.7 ("93X"), KTCZ 97.1 ("Cities 97"), KTIS-FM 98.5, KSJN 99.5, KFXN 100.3, KDWB 101.3, KEEY 102.1 ("K102"), KMNB 102.9 ("Buz'n 102.9"), and KZJK 104.1 ("Jack FM").
In 2001, a painter working on the tower was killed when he fell partway down the structure.
