Don Chester: There are 10s of thousands of mobile phone masts, TV and radio transmitters, as well as various other structures hosting communications equipment across the country. Ofcom used to have the sitefinder database which had a map showing locations of all mobile phone masts etc, but that was discontinued a few years ago. If you put a postcode into the Freeview detailed coverage checker (see link below) it will show any Freeview transmitter locations which are predicted to be receivable, most of which also host other communication equipment for mobile phone networks, etc.

D Graham: BBC are reporting the transmitter as off air due to a fault since 10am today. My guess is that it's either weather related, or the bad weather is preventing or delaying work to fix the fault.

Nicholas Anderson: Some of the big broadcasters have their own ad sales division (ITV, Channel 4 & Sky) who also sell advertising space for some of the smaller channels (e.g. 4Sales sell ads for the UKTV channels). There are probably numerous agencies involved in selling ad space on some of the smaller channels.
