Vintage Postcard - WSM - America's Tallest Radio Tower Located In Nashville, Tennessee, C.T. Art-Colortone, Made By Curt Teich & Company, 878 Feet Tall (1932 - 1939)
From Wikipedia - it was the tallest antenna in North America. Its height was reduced to 808 feet (246 m) in 1939 when it was discovered that the taller tower was causing self-cancellation in the "fringe" areas of reception of the station (it is now known that 195 electrical degrees, about 810 feet, is the optimum height for a Class A station on that frequency).
