Broadcast Details
The Emley Moor tower broadcasts six digital television multiplexes, three digital radio ensembles and two independent local radio stations (Capital Yorkshire & Real Radio) over an area of approximately 10,000 km². It is the main station for some 57 relays and repeaters throughout Yorkshire and the surrounding counties. In July 2007 it was confirmed by Ofcom that Emley Moor would be remaining a B group transmitter after DSO (Digital Switchover).
This area has always been important for RF (radio frequency) transmission and from the foot of Emley's structure both Holme Moss and the Moorside Edge Transmitter are visible. Both of these are within ten miles (16 km) radius and are SW and WNW respectively.
The television coverage area covers one of the largest areas in the UK; covering most of Yorkshire including Hull, Leeds, Sheffield and York. Some transmissions can also be received in Greater Manchester across the Pennines due to the height of the transmitter and the strong signal.

“Working women today are trying to achieve in the work world what men have achieved all along—but men have always had the help of a woman at home who took care of all the other details of living! Today the working woman is also that woman at home, and without support services in the workplace and a respect for the work women do within and outside the home, the attempt to do both is taking its toll—on women, on men, and on our children.”
—Jeanne Elium (20th century)
