Yes, you read that right.

This Thursday at 7pm, the Empire State Building is celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Master FM Antenna in a truly epic way.

Tune into WCBS-FM 101.1 at 7pm on October 29 for a broadcast of Steely Dan’s “FM” that will by synced to a live light show on the iconic New York skyscraper. The Empire State Realty Trust recommends the following locations to view the event:

Brooklyn Bridge
Bryant Park
The Highline
Hoboken/Jersey City Waterfront
Hudson River Esplanade
Long Island City
Madison Square Park
Tribeca Park
Union Square
Williamsburg Waterfront

We're holding out hope for "Deacon Blues" on the 60th anniversary.

That`s awesome.
Yet another reason to always be wishing I was in NYC.

That's really cool. I'm going to check it out.

On a related note, I'm getting married next year and our venue has a view of the Empire State Building. I'm so curious to see what color it will be that night (especially considering how much it costs for a photographer!!!!!).

It couldn't hurt to email the Empire State Building and tell them this, and request a colour or colours. Maybe try and pluck at their heart strings by thinking up a good reason for wanting those colours, lol. Maybe they'll actually do it - you never know!

You can actually submit a request, but doubt they will light it up just for your wedding https://www.esbnyc.com/pr-pop-culture/tower-lighting-request

I think their Twitter account generally explains the colours: https://twitter.com/EmpireStateBldg

On a related note, looks like there's also going to be a Halloween light show!

I bet they'll want some money from me. But I won't have any left after the rest of our wedding budget and the "spring tour"
