The Star Tower is a 956 foot (291.4 m) high transmitting tower for TV and FM in Cincinnati, Ohio at 39°12′01″N 84°31′22″W / 39.20028°N 84.52278°W / 39.20028; -84.52278. It was built for WSTR-TV, then known as "Star 64", which still broadcasts from the tower[1] a non-directional antenna for its analog signal, and a directional antenna pointing northwest for digital.[2] It was built in 1991 using a helicopter. Similar structures designed by the same firm exist in Mesquite, Texas (Mesquite Municipal Communications Facility) and the Washington, D.C. area (WDCW, Hughes Memorial Tower), and at a smaller scale on Poor Mountain, Virginia (WPXR). Radio stations that broadcast from the tower include WAKW-FM, WYGY-FM, WSWD-FM, and WGRR-FM. WRRM-FM has backup facilities at the site.
