Who owns the towers in Christian County
28 different registrants own the 44 structures. 3 are registered to individuals or family trusts, whose names this site withholds.

Height and age
The median structure here stands 264 feet, 57 feet taller than the Illinois median — a sign of broadcast and rural coverage towers rather than short suburban sites. The tallest is a tower near Moweaqua at 535 feet, built in 2000. More than in any other decade, 39% were built in the 2000s.
Every registered structure
Sorted tallest first. The registration number opens the FCC record, which shows the exact location and the owner's contact for the structure. A tower on your land that is not in this list is probably under 200 feet and away from airports, so it did not need registering — see why some towers aren't listed.
