| Back in the 1970s and 1980s this site was known in IBA circles as Cyrn-y-Brain. It was used by the IBA as a site for the programme feed of ITV and S4C between Blaenplwyf and Moel-y-Parc. This eastern route to North Wales was constructed owing to the unsatisfactory reception of Blaenplwyf over the sea path to Arfon |
| The route of the IBA programme feeds from Blaenplwyf to Moel-y-Parc. |
| This poor quality 1983 photo shows the Llangollen site with its dishes which received Long Mountain and transmitted on to Moel-y-Parc. The dishes were mounted on a separate pole. The tower there today must have replaced the mast when the BBC re-engineered the site in 1985, leaving the dishes alone. |
| The four SHF equipments at Llangollen - two for ITV and two for S4C. The accommodation for the IBA was little more than the available space in a corridor. The dishes are presumably unused following DSO? |
