Transmitters

The Manningtree frequency is the strongest. The 470ft [http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/48878 transmitter] is just south of Manningtree, in Essex, and is also one of the BBC Essex MW transmitters. However, the BBC Radio Suffolk broadcasts are directional. It also has Virgin Radio on 1233kHz, BBC national FM, BBC DAB National (the only one for Suffolk and Essex), and Digital One. The Great Barton transmitter also has SGR-FM on 96.4FM. The Oulton transmitter also has The Beach on 103.4FM and Digital One (since 16th December 2005). The 95.9FM frequency, from the Aldeburgh [http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/192251 mast] , is only recent and had to be approved by the Netherlands government in case of interference in Holland. The mast also has TV channels. There is no MW frequency or DAB signal. A [http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/622342 mast] at Sudbury (near Assington), which is the main TV transmitter for Suffolk, has the NOW Digital [http://www.now-digital.com/southend.php Essex 12D multiplex] , which has BBC Essex, even though the mast is in Suffolk. The mast at Oulton/Lowestoft, and one near the Suffolk border at Thetford have the NOW Digital [http://www.now-digital.com/norfolk.php Norfolk 11B multiplex] , which has Radio Norfolk.
