Broadcast Details
The Emley Moor tower broadcasts six digital television multiplexes, three digital radio ensembles and two independent local radio stations (Capital Yorkshire & Real Radio) over an area of approximately 10,000 km². It is the main station for some 57 relays and repeaters throughout Yorkshire and the surrounding counties. In July 2007 it was confirmed by Ofcom that Emley Moor would be remaining a B group transmitter after DSO (Digital Switchover).
This area has always been important for RF (radio frequency) transmission and from the foot of Emley's structure both Holme Moss and the Moorside Edge Transmitter are visible. Both of these are within ten miles (16 km) radius and are SW and WNW respectively.
The television coverage area covers one of the largest areas in the UK; covering most of Yorkshire including Hull, Leeds, Sheffield and York. Some transmissions can also be received in Greater Manchester across the Pennines due to the height of the transmitter and the strong signal.

Famous quotes containing the words broadcast and/or details:
“Adjoining a refreshment stand ... is a small frame ice house ... with a whitewashed advertisement on its brown front stating, simply, “Ice. Glory to Jesus.” The proprietor of the establishment is a religious man who has seized the opportunity to broadcast his business and his faith at the same time.”
—For the State of New Jersey, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“If my sons are to become the kind of men our daughters would be pleased to live among, attention to domestic details is critical. The hostilities that arise over housework...are crushing the daughters of my generation....Change takes time, but men’s continued obliviousness to home responsibilities is causing women everywhere to expire of trivialities.”
—Mary Kay Blakely (20th century)
