The Latvian Television building is 22-storey building built in island Zakusala. The architects of the high-rise are A.Purvins, V. Kadirkov and B. Maike. It was built during the time period during 1979 and 1986. And it was built exactly for the needs of Latvian Television. Also there was a plan to build the Radio Tower and a hotel for up to 400 guests but it still remains unrealized. The first live broadcast was the song survey concert “Microphone 86”
