The WSB-TV tower is a 327.6 metres (1,075 ft) guyed mast broadcast tower in the Old Fourth Ward neighborhood of Atlanta, Georgia, immediately adjacent to Freedom Parkway and the Historic Fourth Ward Park skatepark.
WSB TV Tower was built in 1957 and at its completion was the tallest free-standing lattice tower in the United States. It is a guyed mast with a triangular cross section.
This tower is so close to Freedom Parkway that one of its three sets of guy-wires goes over the road. To prevent falling ice in winter, the roadway is covered by a "tunnel" of sorts. 33°45′51″N 84°21′42″W / 33.76417°N 84.36167°W / 33.76417; -84.36167 (WSB-TV tower) FM TV
