Local Terrestrial Television
The area is served by the main transmitter at Tacolneston, and the relay transmitter at West Runton.
Channel Five is not available from the West Runton relay transmitter, and transmits on a lower power (4kw) from Tacolneston, resulting in a noticeably weakened signal. Nicam digital stereo is available from both transmitters.
Digital ‘Freeview’ broadcasts are currently available from the Tacolneston Transmitter only. Digital Switchover for the area is scheduled to take place in June 2011. The area is not served by any cable television operators.
