Mast
 Nebo
Mast (Arfon Transmitter) was erected in the 1960s to
provide ITV service in Llyn,
Eifionydd and coastal Ardudwy. In order to receive
the signal sent from Preseli Mast in Pembrokeshire,
and to broadcast over the mountains, it was necessary to
have a mast 304 metres high (1,000 feet) set upon
a mountain top 297 metres (971 feet) above
sea level.
The owners of the un-manned transmitter
are NTL and it now broadcasts BBC 1 Wales (51)
and BBC 2 Wales (44), HTV (41) and S4C (47). At present,
it only broadcasts analogue signals, but not Channel
5. It also relays the independent national radio
station, Classic FM (100.7), and the local radio
station, Champion FM (103.0), but not BBC radio.
