Orlando tower question

Traveling the FL turnpike the other day at MM 220 (S. of the Cabin Creek plaza), I noticed a painted tall tower to my left (red lit, no strobes). Who is on this stick?

Left and right side of the road change depending on direction of travel. You didn't indicate which way you were going.

There are two towers just south of the Canoe Creek plaza. The first one (on the left, going south, ASR 1043290, 400 ft.) is owned by SBA Communications, and there are no broadcasters on that tower. The first one (on the left, going north, ASR 1049189, 300 ft.) is owned by the Osceola County Board of County Commissioners. There are no broadcasters on that tower, either.

There is also a tower in the plaza (ASR 1215835, 300 ft.) owned by the State of Florida.

The only broadcaster visible from Florida's Turnpike between US192 and US60 is the 3-tower array of WIWA(AM). It only has top strobes because the county required them. The FAA does not.
 
It's south of the plaza, Mile marker 220. It's not either tower you referenced, as it's WAY taller than 300-400 ft. If traveling south, it will be on the left.

Notice it was owned by Paxson Comm. in 1998.

1038158 owned by SpectraSite through American Tower. WOPX-DT (Digital 56/RF 48) is on that tower. It is 1545 ft. AGL.
 
Used to be Paxsons OTA Home Shoppng station..later called "Mall TV". He had a bunch of UHF station with the "HS" in the call letters. Some, although no longer running HSN programming are still using the HS from the Paxson days.
 
The tower is the home to 95.9 W240BV, a rebroadcast of WPOZ HD2 (Hot 95.9), 102.5 W273CA, a rebroadcast of WMGF HD2 (102.5-WLOQ) and 106.3 W292DZ, a rebroadcast of WPOZ HD3 (106.3-The Rock).
