RADIO AND TELEVISION

from Hastings transmitters

Built in the 1960 the main transmitter was used to bring television reception by aerial to most of Hastings, East Sussex, UK for the first time.
Until then, unless you lived on high ground the only way to receive television in the town was by cable from Redifussion.
These days the transmitter is used for tv & radio, both analogue and digital, there are also two additional transmitters for the Old Town and Silverhill & Hollington.
