No. It's an AM station, for which the whole tower is the antenna, usually with a big insulator at the base so it can be series-fed just above the insulator. And it has to be a specific height - for class A AMs that's usually 5/8 wavelength, so the WOIO tower would be too tall.

But 1100 used to be on the channel 3 tower in Parma at one time. How were they able to do that?

Would they not use insulators to isolate attached devices from the radiator? They could then make the tower higher for FM/TV above the insulated section or connect the device with insulated connections. It would have a slight effect on the pattern I would think.

About halfway up, the tower was separated with insulators. That isolated the top half of the tower and prevented it from being used as the antenna.

As for the tower in Brecksville, there is an obvious small extension on the top for the FM broadcasters, which doesn't appear to be isolated.
