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 1960's 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 tall and WKRC's nickname in the 1960s was "Tall 12", a reference to the station's tower which was the tallest in Cincinnati at the time.
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.
