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[2] [3] 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 294.6m (966.5feet) tall[4] 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[5] and one of four that rise above 900 feet in the city.
