End of an era as Radio City tower hosts final live broadcast on Christmas eve Station overlooking Liverpool hosted most pop stars coming through the city – except those with a fear of heights.
It is known across Liverpool as the Radio City tower but that moniker might not be around much longer as the iconic structure hosts its final live broadcast on Christmas eve.
In 2000, it was saved from dereliction when it become home to Radio City and emblazoned with the words “Radio City 96.7” large enough to be seen across Liverpool.
Built in 1969, originally as a luxury revolving restaurant, one visited by Queen Elizabeth II, the tower was listed Grade II in 2020, with Historic England describing it as “embodying the technological bravura and spirit of the space age”.
leaving empty what is arguably the most famous building of the city’s skyline – St Johns Beacon, to use its proper name.
