WKRQ Tower
The WKRQ Tower is a free-standing lattice tower with triangular cross section used by WKRQ and WKRC-TV as well as several other radio stations located in Cincinnati, Ohio. The tower was built in the early 1960s a period when numerous tall free standing steel lattice towers were being built across the United States including the WCPO TV Tower, the Turner Broadcasting Tower, the WHDH-TV Tower and the WITI TV Tower. The tower stands 294.6 m (967 ft) tall and WKRC's nickname in the 1960s was "Tall 12", a reference to the station's tower which is the tallest in Cincinnati.
The WKRQ Tower remains the tallest freestanding structure in Cincinnati to this day and one of four that rise above 900 feet in the city.
