THE EMLEY MOOR STATION is the main UHF transmitter site for most of Yorkshire and home to Arqiva's landmark concrete tower. It is also the main national operations base for the ex-NTL Broadcast division of Arqiva with the responsibility of remotely monitoring their entire UK broadcast transmitter networ

The station was first opened by the Independent Television Authority (ITA) on 3 November 1956, initially transmitting ITV to Yorkshire and Lincolnshire on 405-line VHF Band III, before upgrading to UHF transmission from 1966 starting with BBC2.

The site is approximately five miles north-east of the facility at Holme Moss, the main BBC FM Radio (and former BBC 405-line Band I Television) transmitter for Northern England.
