Question

i need more info plz and thank u

Answer 1

During the 1960s there was a massive construction boom in Toronto--skyscrapers were being built amongst Toronto's previously constructed relatively low buildings. These low buildings caused serious communication problems, as they were not high enough to broadcast over the new buildings.  Signals bounced off the buildings, resulting in poor television and radio reception for residents.  With the 553.33m antenna, the CN Tower resolved Toronto's communication issues; therefore, Torontonians and those residing in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) now enjoy some of the clearest reception in North America.

Answer 2

From http://www.cntower.ca/portal/GetPage.asp...

"[The CN Tower] is... an important telecommunications hub.... The CN Tower was built in 1976 by Canadian National (CN) who wanted to demonstrate the strength of Canadian industry by building a tower taller than any other in the world.... The construction boom in Toronto in the 1960's transformed the skyline characterized by relatively low buildings into one dotted with skyscrapers. These new buildings caused serious communication problems. With its microwave receptors at 338 m (1,109 ft.) and 553.33m (1,815 ft., 5 inches) antenna, the CN Tower swiftly solved the communication problems with room to spare. As a result people living in the Toronto area now enjoy some of the clearest reception in North America. "
