Are there any planned engineering works or unexpected transmitter faults on the Morecambe Bay (Cumbria, England) mast?

No problems on any service. BBC


UK Free TV shows the coverage area for a radio transmitter as a coloured overlay (orange for FM, other colours for DAB) on the grey map. We have computed the coverage by combining the terrain with the official radiation pattern. A single click will select the transmitter to view the coverage for a single site, and a double click goes to a page showing full details. Click on the buttons in the right-hand corner of the map to choose from different frequencies (or multiplexes for DAB).

Jean: There is no local DAB multiplex for Cumbria yet. It doesn't look like the Lancashire local mux reaches Lancaster or Morecombe Bay either.

BBC Radio Cumbria reported at 14:45 lightning strike at Morecambe Bay transmitter and they can't be heard on FM in South Cumbria, having knock on effect to smaller relays in the area. Engineers on site.

Ian:

The BBC have reported as follows for FM -
From 11:19am to 6:17pm on 27th Sep 2021 BBC Radio Cumbria Off the air due to a fault
From 9:56pm to 9:57pm on 27th Sep 2021 BBC Radio Cumbria Off the air due to a fault
but do not seem to have reported anything similar for the BBC National DAB multiplex 12B at Morecambe Bay.
