WRAL’s Christmas Tree Tower Goes Live For the Holidays |
Christmas cheer filled the air at the WRAL-TV studios on Monday, December 2, 2002. Onlookers braved the chilly air and gathered by the fountain to witness the annual lighting of the WRAL-TV tower, turning the structure into a giant Christmas tree.
The 300 ft tall tower will be lighted through the holiday season. |
The Carolina Harmony Chorus sang a variety of Christmas carols as a backdrop to the lighting ceremony and newscasts. |
This little fellow watches in awe as the night sky lights up. |
The Carolina Harmony Chorus provided music for the crowd, as well as for WRAL-TV viewers around the Triangle. The 5:00, 5:30 and 6:00pm newscasts included music from the choir, and WRAL-TV Chief Meteorologist Greg Fishel flipped the switch on the tower at 5:55pm.
The live crowd helped with the countdown. The tower will remain lighted through the new year and can be seen for miles around.
