Mount Sugarloaf, New South Wales
- Mount Sugarloaf, New South Wales
Mount Sugarloaf is an extinct volcano overlooking the city of Newcastle, in New South Wales, Australia. It is home to the television transmitters that broadcast into the city of Newcastle, and its surrounds. In July 1965, the mountain received 10 centimetres of snow.
Television Transmitters
The mountain has two transmitters:
*One transmitting the VHF television services of NBN Television on VHF Channel 3, as well as some local FM stations (New FM is one). It is commonly referred to as the "NBN Tower".
*Another transmitting digital television and analogue signals of ABHN-5A (ABC) on VHF Channel 5A, UHF stations SBS, Southern Cross Ten and Prime Television. It is controlled by Broadcast Australia, being formerly run by the National Transmission Authority.
Over the past few months, the UHF tower has suffered problems resulting from a lightning bolt striking the tower. It caused some problems for many services but has been fixed.
