2009 Kilvey Hill transmitter digital switchover

The Kilvey Hill transmitting station was originally built at the summit of Kilvey Hill in Swansea, by the BBC in 1967 as a relay for VHF and UHF television. As built, the station did not radiate VHF FM radio, this was added later. Freeview digital terrestrial TV was already available at low power from this transmitter before the digital switchover process began. Currently, the hill's transmitters cater for viewers and listeners in the Swansea and Neath Port Talbot area. The transmission station located on top of Kilvey Hill is owned and operated by Arqiva.
