MCMLXII: Sorry, an alliterative error. I have corrected it.
Yes, Ofcom note that the calculations are based on having the transmitter "half way up the mast".
As far as I have seen all the transmitters are current TV transmitters.
The transmissions will be from the masts as indicated above, I'm not sure what the point of doing all the work on the projections would be otherwise.
Sorry, if I have missed something.

Peter D: From what I remember on my visits to Tyne Tees the whole complex was falling down, it was an old theatre complex as I recall.

Ash: No, the only change is that the Derby relay will get a third frequency for Freeview HD, and that won't be at switchover, but in October 2011.
Derby is unsuitable for a local TV service as it on the fringe of several transmitters, and the local relay used to just provide BBC One and ITV1 East Midlands services to supplement the West Midlands service from Sutton Coldfield.

Daniel: Sorry, my error. I merged two sheets together and as Cambridge wasn't covered in plan A... You can see the coverage map on the Local TV on Freeview - new Ofcom maps | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice page.
The rankings are of places that have a workable local TV service - more than 66% coverage and not already a regional hub.
I suspect that with less than 50% coverage a local channel will not be a workable proposition in a locality.
As for percentages:
63.8% of the population will get a local TV service. That's 42% who already are in a city that has a BBC or ITV regional news hub. 21.8% will be in areas that don't have an existing hub.
6.9% are in areas with "poor" coverage and probably will not have a viable local service.
29.2% of the population live in places that stand no change of having a local TV service.

Peter D: Hard to say without a postcode...
