Radio City Tower or "St John's Beacon" is a radio tower in Liverpool, England where City 96.7. airs. At 138 metres high, it is the second tallest building in Liverpool after the Beetham West Tower. It was made in 1969 and was a revolving restaurant until 1981 and was a ventilation shaft until it became a revolving restaurant again in 1983 but was closed in 1985. For the following years, the tower laid empty and derelict, with visible signs of neglect on the outside of the tower. The public branded it an eyesore, until 1999 when the radio station, Radio City 96.7 bought the tower for it to be used as the station's headquarters.

  • Radio City Tower or "St John's Beacon" is a radio tower in Liverpool, England where City 96.7. airs. At 138 metres high, it is the second tallest building in Liverpool after the Beetham West Tower. It was made in 1969 and was a revolving restaurant until 1981 and was a ventilation shaft until it became a revolving restaurant again in 1983 but was closed in 1985. For the following years, the tower laid empty and derelict, with visible signs of neglect on the outside of the tower. The public branded it an eyesore, until 1999 when the radio station, Radio City 96.7 bought the tower for it to be used as the station's headquarters. The tower was painted from its dull brown colour to a light beige and the top of the roof was fitted with frequency aerials. The tower was no longer branded an eyesore, and is now one of the most well-known buildings in Liverpool. The tower is also known to sway at a 30 degree angle in high winds, due to its light weight.
