day's weather forecast. For a time after the September 11 attacks, the lights were changed to red, white, and blue. However, the tower has not been lit since 2004, when it was turned off because most of the 1,360 light bulbs had burned out, Though a nonprofit organization called The Tower KC, Inc., proposed relighting the tower as an art piece in 2015 and converting the lights from incandescent bulbs to LEDs, the program did not materialize, and by 2018, the station had no plans to reactivate the lights. The tower was originally nicknamed the "Eye-full Tower"; Kansas City's building commissioner had compared its design to the Eiffel Tower in Paris. It was taller than the Eiffel Tower when built, though a television antenna was later added to the Paris tower, increasing its height.
