The Broadcast Tower is a radio tower for the Executive Committee in the Parade District, connected above Apple Holm station within City Hall.
It's the player's goal to reach in Act I and III of We Happy Few.
History[]
The WWBC (Wellington Wells Broadcasting Corporations) job is to broadcast general propaganda throughout Wellington Wells, using Uncle Jack's image as the spokesperson.
The Broadcast Tower was, presumably, built some time after the production of Joy in 1953.
All of the most important Wellies work at the broadcast tower, including the Executive Committee who has their offices within the building. The tower was built above the only train station leading to the rest of Great Britain, which would later be repurposed into a huge motilene mining facility.
Events of We Happy Few[]
Sometime during 1964, Uncle Jack presumably took a counterfeit Joy, or "a Bad Batch" and went insane, smashing the cameras and presumably everyone else in the recording room before escaping. Because of this event, the members in the Executive Committee had no choice but to reuse some of Uncle Jack's old shows so as to not cause any suspicion from the public.
Wastrels, and some keen eyed Wellies, have noticed that the shows are reruns. In response, the Executive Committee issued that Uncle Jack had simply caught a cold and should be able to record again as soon as possible.
Inside the building, the player can notice how empty, decrepit, and dirty the offices are, having been abandoned long ago just so the last remaining members can hide away and never take responsibility.
Trivia[]
- The reason the last tape is still intact is likely because the members forgot to destroy it.
- At the end of Act III, the player is standing at the very top of the broadcast tower, and they can look down to see the entirety of the map below. This makes the Broadcast Tower technically the highest point the player can get to.
- However, although it is the highest point the player can get to, it isn't the highest point they can get to on their own. The Watchtower from Survival mode is the highest point the player can reach on their own.
- According to Uncle Jack’s show, the broadcast tower’s street address is “2 Marlborough House, Central Wellington Wells”
