It surely does. 800+ feet tall.

WLW, WSM Nashville, and I believe one tower of a station in New Hampshire
and the WBT array in NC.

Yep, I've seen the one in NH. WFEA-1370 if I recall properly.

I thought WBT had to replace theirs with traditional towers after
Hurricane Hugo damage? May be remembering that wrong.

The City of Brentwood has built a nice park about two city blocks from
the WSM site, and a sidewalk just outside the property fence. You can
now safely walk along the fence & admire the tower & the rest of the
facility.

According to their promo on WSM online, its 804 foot.

I'd like the nickel tour of the transmitter site and to see all of
the Ryman Auditorium, but I doubt I'll ever be able to travel that far,
again. I've always wanted to see the Grand Ole Opry at the Ryman
Auditorium, but I never got the chance. I have driven through Tennessee
twice on I-75 on a Friday night back in the early '70s and didn't have
time to stop. :(

Two years ago, we were just a few miles from Nashville, visiting Andre
Norton in Murfreesboro.. the first and only time I was ever within local
signal range of WSM. Even happened to be on a Saturday night, so I got to
listen to the Opry. I should have taken that opportunity to visit the
station and/or the transmitter site, as I won't have a reason to be in the
area again.
