High Island is a small island next to City Island, Bronx, New York.
It is connected to City Island by a small private bridge and a permanent sandbar that emerges at low tide.
It has two AM Radio transmitting towers.
One is for WCBS Newsradio 88 AM (CBS) and the other is for WFAN Sportsradio 66 AM (NBC) in New York City.
It was a privately owned island before it was puchased in the late 1950's.
The island is not inhabited, but workers are there 24 hours a day.
130 years ago it was called Spectacle Island.
