Because of its central location and relatively high altitude for central Iowa, two [[Doppler weather radar]] stations are located in Alleman: WHO-TV 13's First Alert Mega Doppler, and KCCI-TV 8's Super Doppler 8. A storm in July 2011 resulted in the [[radome]] from the Mega Doppler being torn from the structure.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Ledger |first=The Clarion |title=Tornado on Jul. 11, 2011 03:13 AM CDT |url=https://data.clarionledger.com/tornado-archive/iowa/309152/ |access-date=2025-03-19 |website=The Clarion Ledger |language=en}}</ref>

Because Alleman is located about midway between [[Des Moines, Iowa|Des Moines]] and [[Ames, Iowa|Ames]], many radio and television stations transmit from towers located in the town. These towers include some of the world's tallest structures, reaching over {{convert|600|m|ft}}. Along with the towers, a large portion of the Alleman low-altitude airspace is obstructed by the many guy-wires supporting the structures, making the area extremely hazardous for small, low-altitude aircraft.{{citation needed|date=January 2016}} The specific antennas are:
