UK Free TV shows the coverage area for a radio transmitter as a coloured overlay (orange for FM, other colours for DAB) on the grey map. We have computed the coverage by combining the terrain with the official radiation pattern. A single click will select the transmitter to view the coverage for a single site, and a double click goes to a page showing full details. Click on the buttons in the right-hand corner of the map to choose from different frequencies (or multiplexes for DAB).

Are there any planned engineering works or unexpected transmitter faults on the Wrekenton (Gateshead, England) mast?

Hi,

I thought the Radio 4 transmitter at Wrekenton was 2kw in power output, but the info on this page says it is 500 watts. Which is correct please?

Thanks

Bob: Re: R4 Wrekenton, this 603Khz AM transmitter is certainly rated as being 2Kw on my TX info sheet along with BBC Radio Newcastle on 1458Khz.
