The Brecon transmitting station was originally built by the IBA in 1970 as a relay for VHF 405-line analogue television: one of the last 405-line TV stations to be built in Britain. As built, it consisted of a 46 m guyed lattice mast carrying the aerials at the top. This structure was built about 300 m NW of Slwch Tump Iron Age hill fort on the slopes of a 240 m hill known as "The Slwch" overlooking the town. The VHF television feed was provided off-air from Abergavenny, about 25 km to the southeast - itself an off-air relay of St. Hilary near Cardiff.

has abstract	The Brecon transmitting station was originally built by the IBA in 1970 as a relay for VHF 405-line analogue television: one of the last 405-line TV stations to be built in Britain. As built, it consisted of a 46 m guyed lattice mast carrying the aerials at the top. This structure was built about 300 m NW of Slwch Tump Iron Age hill fort on the slopes of a 240 m hill known as "The Slwch" overlooking the town. The VHF television feed was provided off-air from Abergavenny, about 25 km to the southeast - itself an off-air relay of St. Hilary near Cardiff. In 1974 the site was enhanced to transmit UHF analogue colour television. This caused a 10 m tall cylindrical weather screen containing the UHF antennas to be fitted on top of the existing mast. The UHF television feed came via a three-hop circuitous route from Wenvoe at Cardiff, via Abergavenny repeater itself repeating the Ebbw Vale repeater which repeated Wenvoe! The 405-line VHF television service closed across the UK in 1985, but according to the IBA's transmitter list and the BBC's internal "Eng. Inf." magazine, Brecon was due to close early - in the third quarter of 1982. The station does not radiate VHF FM radio, this comes from a different site at Pencrug Farm a few km to the west. Currently, the hill's transmitters provide UHF digital terrestrial TV, mostly to the town of Brecon and its immediate environs. The transmission station is currently owned and operated by Arqiva. Freeview digital terrestrial TV was not available from this transmitter before the digital switchover process began at Wenvoe, with the first stage taking place on 31 March 2010. The second stage was completed on 27 April 2010. (en)
