Better television reception on the way... The Wrekin television mast is being erected here on April 15, 1975. A story we published a couple of days later said: "The new television mast and transmitting station on The Wrekin is expected to be in operation by the end of the year. Work has started on erecting the 63 metre mast, which will receive and transmit BBC 1 and 2 and ITA programmes. 'It will provide good reception to a wide area of Shropshire which has been dependent on distant transmitters, and will be a considerable improvement to reception,' said a London engineering spokesman."
