Mason is a city in southwestern Warren County, Ohio, United States, approximately 22 miles (35 km) north of downtown Cincinnati.

Six years after its construction President Franklin Roosevelt ordered the tower to operate 10 times it original power capacity.

This new strength would prove tedious for locals as they could hear the broadcast through their bedsprings, downspouts, and fencing.

After complaints from other radio stations due to signal interference, the power would eventually be reduced in 1939 after the Federal Communications Commission chose not to renew the experimental broadcast, reducing the wattage back to its original 50,000 capacity.

This decision was appealed by the Crosley Corporation, the company who operated the tower, all the way to the supreme court where it was still denied.

Mason tourist attractions include Kings Island amusement park and its Soak City water park, Great Wolf Lodge indoor water park and resort, and The Lindner Family Tennis Center, which hosts the historic Cincinnati Open tennis tournament, one of the top nine in the world within the ATP Tour Masters 1000 series.

High-tech companies, corporate headquarters, and light industries are particularly attracted to Mason.
