Lichfield was the second ITA site, which began broadcasting on 17-Feb-1956. The original structure was a 137m (450ft) tower. This was replaced with the current 305m mast which took over transmitting 405-line ITV on 18-Jul-1961. Closed 3-Jan-1985. The Birmingham ILR service (BRMB) was transmitted from Lichfield from the launch on 19-Feb-1974 until 1989, when the transmitter was relocated to Sutton Coldfield. Lichfield resumed broadcasting with Channel 5 in 1997. |
This picture is from Bob Cotton and shows the original tower with the new 1000ft mast alongside. |
