Crystal Palace Transmitter
Encyclopedia
The Crystal Palace transmitting station is a broadcasting
and telecommunications site in the Crystal Palace area
of the London Borough of Bromley
, England
.
Its tower is the third-tallest structure in London. The station is best known as the main television
transmitter for the London area.
. The Aquarium
on which it is mostly built was partially destroyed in 1941 during the demolition of the Palace's north water tower. (John Logie Baird
's earlier transmitter and TV studios were a separate development at the other end of the Palace and perished with it in 1936.)
Its new 219 metres (719 ft) tower was the tallest structure in London until the construction of One Canada Square
at Canary Wharf
in 1991. Despite its size, it has been largely overlooked as a London landmark due to its location and simplicity. It has been nicknamed London's Eiffel Tower
.
The first transmission from Crystal Palace took place on 28 March 1956, when it succeeded the transmitter at Alexandra Palace where the BBC had started the world's first scheduled television service in September, 1936. In November 1956 the first colour test transmissions began from Crystal Palace relaying live pictures from the studios at Alexandra Palace after BBC TV had closed down for the night. In May 1958 the first experimental Band V 625 line transmissions started from Crystal Palace.
When first constructed it only transmitted BBC Television on the old VHF 405-line
system. The Croydon transmitter
was then built to broadcast ITV
. When UHF
transmissions started in 1964 first the new BBC2 and later both ITV and BBC1 were then transmitted from Crystal Palace. However, even now Crystal Palace does not transmit analogue Channel 5, this (alone) comes from Croydon about two miles away (although Croydon does have reserve transmitters for ITV and Channel 4, which are only used in the event of a fault or maintenance at Crystal Palace). A couple of years ago the BBC decided that a complete reserve was also a good idea and now all four services are available from Croydon if required. When UK Digital Switch Over is completed in the London area in 2012 all services will come from Crystal Palace again, but because of the site's importance Croydon will be able to be used to duplicate the PSB multiplexes in case of emergency. 405-line VHF television was discontinued in 1985, and now the only television broadcasts from Crystal Palace are on UHF.
The station carries the London regions of BBC One
, BBC Two
, ITV1
and Channel 4
in analogue, each with an effective radiated power
of 1 MW, as well as all six digital terrestrial television
multiplexes
. These have an ERP of 20 kW, with considerable beam tilt
to the south and east. Although DTT
requires far less power to achieve the same coverage as analogue TV, this 17 dB
difference is too large to ensure comparable coverage. The station therefore has a range of about 30 miles (50 km) for DTT, compared with about 60 miles (90 km) for analogue.
The tower is also used for FM
radio
transmission of several local radio stations BBC London 94.9
, XFM
, Choice FM
and Absolute Radio, as well as a low powered relay of the 4 BBC national FM services and Classic FM
. It also has mediumwave
transmitters on 558 kHz (Spectrum Radio
), 720 kHz (BBC Radio 4
) and 1035 kHz (Kismat Radio
). Since the tower is grounded, a wire aerial spun close to it is used for the MW
services.
Since 1995, the tower has also been in use as one of five London transmitters for the BBC
DAB
multiplex
. This was joined in 1999 by the Digital One
DAB service, and a further local DAB multiplex has also since started transmitting.
In May 2006, Crystal Palace began broadcasting the first terrestrial HDTV
signals in the UK. This was to enable a trial group of 450 London homes to test HD broadcasts by the BBC, ITV, Channel 4 and Five, in order to assess the viability and potential problems of future nationwide HD broadcasting. On 2 December 2009, the site entered service as one of the first DVB-T2
transmitters in the world, carrying a variant of the BBC's Multiplex B broadcasting high-definition TV services.

Future developments
The UK Government's plans for digital switchover are based on the use of almost all of the UK's current analogue TV transmitter sites. As such, Crystal Palace is expected to remain a key part of the network when the London area is switched over in 2012. In July 2007 it was confirmed by Ofcom that Crystal Palace would be remaining an A group transmitter after DSO (Digital Switchover).Analogue radio (AMAmplitude modulationAmplitude modulation is a technique used in electronic communication, most commonly for transmitting information via a radio carrier wave.
