EnergyFM uses the two
'Sira' type aerials on that can be seen the left of first top
picture. Manx Radio uses the three EMI circular antennas,
that can be seen on on the right hand side of the picture, these were
originally used at by Manx Radio when they were installed on the
IBA Richmond Hill Tower, a few miles south west of Douglas (Before
Carnane came into use). The original frequency from Richmond Hill
was 96.9 during the 1970's, this changed to 97.3 in the 1980's.
The Manx Radio transmitter then moved to the Carnane site in 1989,
which was owned by the BBC and simply referred to as 'Douglas',
Douglas is now owned and operated by CTI since BBC Transmissions was
privatised and sold off.
The original
Manx Radio aerials from Richmond Hill were relocated to Jurby after
being retuned to the new frequency used at Jurby of 103.7MHz!
