| Since I last visited Bilsdale in September 2023 all of the band II FM radio and band III local DAB aerials have been installed on the new mast. Middlesborough local TV went live from the new mast on 12-Dec-2023 and all of the radio services went live on 23-Jan-2024. |
| Between the main and reserve UHF antennas at 292m are the band II aerials which transmit the ILR services on 96.6 & 106.4 MHz, and Classic FM. |
| If I've got my bearings correct, mast leg 'C' is in the centre of this picture and the stay cable is on a bearing of 263 degrees. Therefore the crossbow panels are facing roughly west and north. The three element crossed yagis on the right of this picture will be facing roughly southeast. |
| Further round the mast. |
| At 257m are four tiers band II crossbow panels transmitting BBC Tees and Heart FM. Below at 247m are the band III panels which transmit the three national DAB multiplexes. |

| The 4 tiers of band III log periodics on the left transmit Teeside DAB. The four on the right North Yorkshire DAB. The four tiers of band II dipoles, to the left of mast leg 'C' transmit the four BBC National FM services. Note the ice protection screens above the DAB aerials. These ice protection screens seem to be a feature of this new mast. |
