Hi.

My guess is France Info which runs 100kW on 1206kHz Medium Wave.

see:

The system looks similar to the type used by the IBA for some of its MW
broadcast installations in the 70s/80s.  They were cheaper to install
than a 4-tower array!

In such an array the tower is the driven element and the sloping wire
acts as a reflector.

Also Eric confirmed the installation posted by SM2EKM on Towertalk:
