Exactly why I mentioned maintenance costs, somebody’s still paying to keep the church from falling apart. Also don’t see too many stories in the news about radio towers providing a sanctuary for child molesters so they’ve got that advantage over churches too.
Holy shit, finally, a use for this skyline clutter. A normal tower would cost less to maintain though.
I think from all the stuff that makes a skyline look awful, I feel that a beautiful Gothic style church is not one of them.
A normal tower would also cost more to put up than it would to rent out the church spire.

I think that almost everyone’s point of view (including mine) in this situation is “it’s already there, it’s the height we need, why not use it?”
Your last point, while true, was entirely unrelated to the discussion so I’m not sure why you felt the need to bring that up.
Because it’s a downside of churches that doesn’t come with radio towers. Something to consider while evaluating pros and cons.
