Yes, I would interpret that as "nobody here knows".  I suppose
you could visit the area and see how you feel there.  It seems to
me that radio towers would be operating with a lot more
power than cellphone towers, so you may need to be further
away from them to be safe.

On the other hand, most of that power is probably being used for
analog broadcasts, and I suspect that analog broadcasts are
more tolerable than digital broadcasts.  However, if those
same towers are being used for HD radio or digital TV
stations, then that make things worse.

Certainly there have been studies showing higher rates of
cancer around broadcast antennas, but I don't recall if
these studies were looking at TV or radio towers, and
how far away from the towers was considered "safe"
from a cancer-perspective.
