Just noticed Bay TV Clwyd is coming on air from Moel Y Parc, Ch 26, alias Mold TV.
any idea of the coverage plot yet as the local ones for Winter Hill are really useful?

Moel y Parc transmitter is located in Wales, United Kingdom not England UK as described. Please alter the text or move the transmitter. Thanks

In some respect, Brian, I think Richard is right.
It should say Flintshire, Wales, not Flintshire, England.
The Moel-Y-Parc signals may be receivable mostly in England than Wales and the masts' location has a CH (Chester, England) Postcode but geographically the mast is in Wales.
The Postcode database should be able to differentiate if a mast has a CH postcode as to whether the mast is in England or Wales.

Stuart Owens: Sorry, I didn't mean to deny that the transmitter is in Wales.
It's just taken a bit of tracking down to find out that there was a database table I had forgotten about that was caching the names.
The problem was with my caching logic!
All is now correct and this transmitter now shows the correct location of Moel-Y-Parc (Flintshire, Wales) .
