(Redirected from Alexandra Palace transmitting station)
The
Alexandra Palace transmitting station () is one of the oldest
television transmission sites in the world; high definition (
405-line)
VHF broadcasts took place from this mast between
1936 (with a break for
World War II) and
1956 when it was superseded by the opening of the
BBC's new main transmitting station for the
London area at
Crystal Palace. In
1982 Alexandra Palace became an active transmitting station again, with the opening of a relay transmitter to provide UHF television service to parts of North
London which are unable to directly receive broadcasts from Crystal Palace.
The transmitter is owned and maintained by
National Grid Wireless.
