Transmitters
Old Remembering Times
The strongest 104.1FM signal is broadcast at 2,500 ft from the Holme Moss transmitter (actually in West Yorkshire, on the border with Derbyshire), enabling the signal to be clearly heard over much of Derbyshire and north Nottinghamshire in the Worksop area. The Crosspool transmitter on Tapton Hill also has Hallam FM on 97.4FM, Capital Yorkshire on 105.6FM and Real Radio on 107.7FM. The Chesterfield transmitter also has Peak FM on 107.4FM. The Chesterfield signal can be heard as far south on the M1 as Copt Oak. The Broadfield Road transmitter in Sheffield is between the A621 and the A61 behind Heeley swimming pool. DAB radio signals have come from the Bauer South Yorkshire 11C multiplex from the transmitters at Clifton (next to the M18 east of Rotherham) and Tapton Hill (Sheffield) since November 2000. Bauer own Hallam FM.
