Keighley & Keighley Town`s Frequencies/Channels
The transmitter is a repeater (or relay) off Emley Moor, that is to say it receives its signal from Emley, then remodulates it before retransmitting it into the Aire valley which would otherwise be shielded from a decent signal.
DSO is due to occur for both transmitters in September 2011 and it has been confirmed by Ofcom that Keighley will be returning to a C/D group.
Both Keighley and Keighley Town`s frequencies are given on the Channel Allocation
Guide. The latter also provides the same information on the potentially co-
the NE are very attenuated. The Channel Allocation Guide can also be invaluable if you are trying to find a spare channel for a modulated output (e.g. for a Sky box or CCTV system)
to be added to your TV setup/distribution system without suffering from co-
The hill on which Keighley transmitter stands over looks the Aire valley along which the Leeds to Liverpool canal (completed in stages between 1774 and 1816) and the Railway
line to Skipton runs. The line was originally built by the Leeds & Bradford Railway and opened from Leed/Bradford to Shipley in 1846 and on to Skipton (via Keighley) in 1847.
The line passed into the hands of the Midland Railway and this section eventually became part of the route to Carlisle via the virtuoso Settle to Carlisle railway. Perhaps Keighley is most famous these days for being the terminus of the well known Keighley & Worth Valley Railway, this was originally opened by the Midland in 1867 and it became one of the first preserved railways in 1968.
Keighley Town is a repeater (situated on top of the flats on Parkwood Rise) which receives its picture from Keighley, thus it is a repeater off a repeater ! Keighley Town only transmits the basic 4 channels on analogue (at 6W) and it is a vertically polarised A group.
After DSO, in September 2011, Keighley Town will only transmit the three basic PSB MUXES, not all six of them. Click here for the aerials we recommend for Keighley Town.

We recommend the DM log for strong signal areas, the Log 40 for medium signal areas,
the XB10WB for poor signal areas and the XB16WB for those with the most marginal signals. The dimensions and test performance of the antennas can be found on the
relevant tables. The prices of the aerials are on the Sales page.
