I'm guessing that'd be the national weather service transmitter at 162 MHz. Close enough to look like FM broadcast, but the ridiculous power requirements aren't there. The NWS site north of me uses antennas that resemble slightly smaller FM transmitter 'loops'.
FM commercial stations use very good antennas to save money on transmitters and electricity. The NWS has your tax dollars to spend! Of course, being that the NWS is only generally looking for 1-5kW EIRP, it may be cheaper to lease less tower space and throw on a slightly hotter transmitter.
