Capitol Broadcasting Tower Columbia is a 533.1 metre high guyed tower for TV transmission at Columbia, North Carolina, USA at 35°30′44″N, 78°58′41.0″W. Capitol Broadcasting Tower was built in 2000 and replaced the Capitol Broadcasting Tower Broadway damaged in a plane crash.

The tower which it replaced (35°30′45″N, 78°58′0″W) was also 533.1 metre high guyed tower for TV transmission built in 1985. It broadcast the signal of now defunct WKFT TV 40 licensed to Fayetteville and was utilized as an auxiliary broadcast tower for WRAL TV in Raleigh.

The tower was destroyed when a courier plane flew into it on March 14, 2002. The tower was replaced, but is no longer owned by Capitol Broadcasting. WKFT became a Univision affiliate and was rebranded as WUVC shortly after the tower was replaced.

The tower was (and still is) located near the Harnett-Lee County border. The tower is actually in Harnett County while the actual town of Broadway is in Lee County.
