[TV and radio services for more than
a million people will remain off air indefinitely after a transmitter fire. The blaze at the Bilsdale mast on Tuesday disrupted Freeview, DAB and FM radio signals across North Yorkshire, Teesside and parts of County Durham. Operator Arqiva said it would bring in temporary equipment but could not say when services would be restored. Witness Ron Needham, 71, reported seeing "a huge black cloud of smoke come from the buildings at the bottom". He had been hiking on the North York Moors with his wife Sue, 69, when they stopped for lunch at the base of the mast. They noticed "nothing untoward" but after continuing for about a mile and a half noticed smoke coming from the top "like a chimney", Mr Needham said.] Sky, Freesat and cable services are not affected. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-tees-58169501 |

Needless to say we can’t get our normal tv channels. Not too bad with iplayer, myfive and itv hub etc though. Missing all my hgtv shows. Hopefully they can get something sorted soon. |
