There is currently no signal from the Cullingworth transmitter but no problems are reported. (I'm reporting problems now!) There is, however, engineering work on Keighley transmitter which says low signal and I'm wondering if Cullingwoth gets its signal from Keighley, which might explain it, or directly from Emley Moor.

Stephen: Cullingworth was off air from 08.50 to 15.42 (from a BBC radio and television service check). If you were still wondering, Cullingworth is a direct relay of Emley Moor.
