KCTV Tower is a 1,042-foot (318 m) high freestanding steel lattice tower located at East 31st Street on Union Hill (south of downtown) in Kansas City, Missouri, United States. It was built in 1956 for KCMO-TV (now KCTV), which has been broadcast from the mast since its completion. For a time after its completion, it was the world's tallest freestanding structure. It is a Kansas City landmark and over the years has featured various types of nighttime lighting.
