Comments: Relay of Emley Moor

Shots of the Idle / Wrose TV transmitter serving the Aire valley to the north of Bradford. Viewers in Shipley and Bingley are spoilt for choice, if they can't get Emley, they should be able to get either Keighley or Idle, and both carry DTT.

Meanwhile on top of Idle Hill, we get fantastic reception, a lovely view of all three and get superb Tyne Tees reception from Bilsdale as well! I haven't yet tried Winter Hill, but as soon as I get bored...

The split shot shows the view of other TV transmitters visible from Idle. From Left to Right - Emley Moor, Wharfedale, Keighley and Tinshill Moor Communication tower (Not TV). The only other local site not visible is Beecroft Hill to the East, hidden behind Idle village itself.
