Two Towers Along I-94 Northwest Of Racine

There are two towers along I-94 near Two Mile Rd. NW of Racine. At first I thought it was an AM DA with very tall towers. It looks like the antenna bays for WVTY 92.1 in Racine are on one of the towers on a pole near the top . The other tower appears to have a pole without an antenna or a slotted ring antenna. Did this used to be the tower for WKKV 100.7 in Racine, as I see it labelled as WRKR in some search results? Seems like I talked to Pat Martin 25 years or so ago (the only time I ever talked to him) about WRKR moving closer to Milwaukee. Seems like the new location used the old Short Spaced Zones and was barely 125 miles to be 50 kW/500 feet nondirectional, 125 miles from perhaps WBYT 100.7 in Elkhart, IN? But that wasn't what Pat Martin said. Figured it out with an aeronautical chart and a ruler.
