I'm not sure.

I read that on one of the google news alerts I subscribed to. Think it was a tv station engineer who said that was the average cost per month per transmitter, or maybe that was for both transmitters. I'd imagine the monthly electric bill would be pretty high since those stations have gotta use a lot of power to transmit their signals out so far.
