Star Tower, Landmark tower in College Hill, Cincinnati, US.
Star Tower is a broadcasting tower in Cincinnati with a distinctive three-legged lattice frame structure. The tower serves as the main transmitting location for television and radio stations that reach listeners across a wide region.
The tower was completed in 1991 after a broadcasting company purchased land in the College Hill neighborhood. Construction followed a settlement agreement with residents about how the site would be developed.
The Star Tower functions as a central broadcasting point for multiple television and FM radio stations, extending WSTR-TV's signal coverage by 5,000 square miles.
The tower is located in a residential neighborhood and is visible from public streets in the area. Photography of the structure works best from various nearby viewpoints that provide clear sightlines to the tower.
Helicopters were used during construction to position and connect tower sections suspended in mid-air. This method allowed workers to align and fasten components while working at extreme heights.
