The FM antenna will attempt to direct the energy away from the tower. If you are below the antenna, you are in somewhat of a null area. Do you know the transmitter power output of the FM station? Ferrite and coils of cat 5 will choke the FM out of the radio to a certain degree.
I think it will work. You will need shielded cable of course. You may need the ferrite. Coils cost nothing and are no extra work. Conduit or liquidtight have fixed problems for others. Lots of folks are on towers with broadcasters.
