Turners Hill Transmitter refers to a pair of free-standing radio and television towers on Turners Hill, on the border of Dudley and Rowley Regis in the Metropolitan Borough of Sandwell; both localities being in the West Midlands of England.[1] They are approximately 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) west of Oldbury.[2]
One is made from lattice steel; and the other, "Turners Hill 2," with a height of 60.96 metres (200 ft), is made of concrete, topped by a steel antenna.[2]
They carry multiplexes 11A, 11B, 11C, 11D and 12B.[1][3]
It also broadcasts Hits Radio Black Country & Shropshire on 97.2 FM.
A local landmark, the masts are visible from the nearby M5 motorway and M6 motorway, and from as far afield as Barr Beacon.
