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

Hi.
I live in NE49 9LR. Haltwhistle has 3000 residents. We have no DAB reception at all.
What an outrage! I just bought a DA radio on the advice of the BBC radio trails and it won't gte a single station. This is 2018!!! What plans are there?
Thanks for any advice. I'm pretty mad at this.

VERY disappointed to have bought a nice DAB radio only to find there is no coverage here in Haltwhistle Northumberland. At the 2011 census there were 3811 people living here but Caldbeck can not reach us although it does reach all around here. We receive FREEVIEW from a 400 watt repeater at the west end of the town, so the broadcasters do know our problem. Since there is already a local repeater site, all wired up and cabled, what a pity they didn't think to provide us a small transmitter. How much would it cost?
Of course searches online give no email address to complain to, only hints about how to site your receiver. The coverage maps show there is no coverage, so they do know.
