Probably 15 years longer than it's going to be required for.
I'm still surprised they are rebuilding (in effect) the 1000ft mast. Almost seven months on, and with a smattering of extra relays, others pimped up to higher power etc, aerials redirected to Pontop and Emley, others equipped with Freesat and Firesticks, I wonder at this point how many are still without service?
This is certainly less of an issue than it would have been 30 or so years ago, when Pontop and Bilsdale received different news programmes, and Emley Moor transmitted programmes from a “competitor” (ie. YTV not TTT). Those who have had their aerials re-directed at Emley may consider themselves to be receiving the wrong news region on both BBC and ITV, but - similar to your question- how few homes in the former Bilsdale footprint does this affect?
