I would like to see some more info on that system..   At one time I believe the Cleveland station also had a slant wire parasitic guy wire to reduce radiation toward Canada. 
 
There many unusual AM tower feeds around the country.   One of the more unique is the Sacramento that had a two tower DA  with two 5/8 wave Franklins using open wire feeds to each tower and open wire feed up to the center feed point of the two towers.
 
I believe that is correct.
