The mast is at Carnane on the hill overlooking Douglas, less than a mile south of the town.
The BBC TV signals are fed from Winter Hill while ITV/C4 comes via Caldbeck.
BBC Radio and Classic FM are both fed from Sandale.
The small directional array at the top of the mast transmits Classic FM at 500w while the main array below handles BBC Network Radio and Manx Radio at 10.8kW. Energy FM is also radiated from this site at 2kW ERP.
Above: the northerly mast stays with the Manx Radio studios visible in the background.
Below: the westerly mast stays and compound fence, with Douglas Bay and Onchan to the North.
In 2007 the BBC's network FM aerials were replaced.
(Classic FM continues to be broadcast from the two Sira aerials at the top of the tower).
