All services are currently off air.

Many of the local relays that rely on Bilsdale have had their feeds hastily re-engineered onto Pontop Pike. The Eston Nab relay has currently been re-allocated Bilsdales TV frequencies & the transmit logs repositioned to serve as much of Middlesborough & Stockton as is feasable at this time.

This happened days ago, I believe some customers have had some service restored since then.
