Page "BBC Radio Lancashire" Paragraph 2

The 103. 9 FM signal comes high on the Winter Hill transmitter, and its height gives it the greatest coverage over Lancashire.

North Manchester, although nearby, can just about pick up the signal.

Winter Hill also carries national radio ( including BBC National DAB ), TV, Digital One, and the commercial stations 105. 4 Real Radio ( formerly Century 105 ), Rock FM ( formerly Red Rose Radio ) on 97. 4FM and Smooth FM on 100. 4FM.

Winter Hill also broadcasts two other local digital multiplexes-MXR North West 12C and CE Digital Manchester 11C ( it is a digital transmitter for Radio Manchester ).

Radio Manchester is very clear in the south of Lancashire as is Radio Merseyside.

The Lancaster transmitter also carries TV, BBC National DAB stations and Digital One.

Beginning on 1 October 2001, the DAB signals have come from the EMAP Digital Central Lancashire 12A multiplex located at Winter Hill and Pendle Forest ( near Nelson ).

Pendle Forest also started broadcasting BBC National DAB stations in April 2004.
