Ever hear of "the straw that broke the camel's back"? Some towers could
readily handle a great deal more loading, but some can't. It just depends
upon how loaded the tower is today.

And keep in mind, you can't just send someone up the tower with a set of
lights and have them install them. The tower system (tower, tower base,
guy
wires, guy wire anchors) are designed to bear a specific maximum amount
of
weight, and withstand a specific amount of wind loading. If the radio
station did install some lights without a proper engineering study,

Oh, come now! The extra wind loading and weight might cut into the safety
factors a very small amount, but the change is of little significance.
Anyone out here, with the qualifications, care to figure it?
