Another interesting fact about this part of the world is
that from the mid 60s, BBCtv was broadcast from
Winter Hill on CH12,

Why did they do that?...


Surely 't moss covered everything north of Watford and beyond;?...


The BBC originally believed that it would not be possible to serve the
industrial areas of Yorkshire and Lancashire from a single site. But
this view was rejected by the Television Committee chaired by Sir
Maurice Hankey (1943-1945), whose conclusions were subsequently
accepted by the Government. Holme Moss was the result. However, it
later became clear that the Beeb had been right, and supplementary
services had to be provided in Band III from Winter Hill and Belmont.
It's all in Pawley.
