Unknown radio station

[N8DV]

Is there anyone living in Brownstown Township that knows the call letters of a transmitter and antenna's on Sibly or Pennsylvania Roads? I have passed a number of times and was wondering what the call letters are of that station.

I was unable to locate one in Brownstown. If you know the Zip Code of the antenna location this could help:

I located these AM radio stations doing an 8 mile radius search of the area centered beween Pennsylvania Road and Sibley Road:

WPJR341 MICHIGAN, STATE OF Active 07/30/2012 AM 1630
WPTK837 Township of Grosse Ile Expired 04/22/2002 AM 1710
WPUA590 Township of Grosse Ile Active 01/24/2012 AM 1700
WPVZ711 CIty of Riverview Expired 03/31/2003 AM 1650
WPWK899 CIty of Riverview Active 12/10/2012 AM 1650
WPYT755 City of Wyandotte Expired 04/24/2004 AM 1670
WPZV580 CIty of Wyandotte Active 03/23/2014 AM 1670
WQEQ301 City of Dearborn Heights Active 03/22/2016 AM 1690

I could not locate any FM stations in that area.

For more info on the location of the AM stations use this for entering the callsign:

Some other RR users may have better info.

Is it in Riverview?

Are talking about the very tall radio antenna at the corner of Sibley and Grange, between Allen and Fort?

If so, that's WJR 760 AM. It's actually in Riverview. I think I read in our local paper that WJR has had a tower there since 1934.

Wjr

If this is the one N8DV sees, I missed it earlier, it showed "Detroit."

[N8DV]

Yup, that's it. WJR you say? I thought they had one on top of the Fisher Building?

Fisher Bulding

Yup, that's it. WJR you say? I thought they had one on top of the Fisher Building?

Yup, that's WJR in the picture. The houses are all in Brownstown, the tower and field are in Riverview. The studio is in the Fisher Building (at least it used to be?) The shorter tower has the link antenna between the studio and the transmitter. There may be an FM antenna on the Fisher Building. I know WJR has a sister FM station. Don't know what it is though.
There don't appear to be an FM antenna on the side of the AM tower, at least from what I can tell.
