Mount Allison is a peak southeast of Fremont, California. It is part of a ridge that includes Mission Peak and Monument Peak. Unlike the former two peaks, Mount Allison is located on unincorporated private property owned by a broadcasting company. [1]

Owned by Communication and Control, Inc. (CCI), a large free-standing broadcasting antenna broadcasts two Spanish channels, channel 14 (Univision KDTV) and channel 48 (Telemundo KSTS). Erected on February 25, 1998, the antenna is 443.07 feet (135 meters) high and has three prongs at the top. Several small antennas and broadcasting dishes are also built there. [2]
