broadcast towers

Airwave transmission structures

Broadcast towers are tall structures designed to transmit radio, television, or cellular signals over wide areas.

They support antennas at heights that clear obstructions and extend signal range.

The term typically refers to freestanding towers rather than antennas mounted on buildings: The broadcast tower's red lights blinked against the night sky.
