A spokesperson for the BBC has said the disruption, which could take place tomorrow Tuesday October 12, is to allow Arqiva to perform power testing in readiness for the new temporary mast coming into operation.

According to the BBC, viewers “do not need to retune at this time as reception should return to normal later in the day.”

Just last week saw the demolition of the former mast on the Bilsdale site that went up in flames on August 10.

The new 80-metre temporary mast is, according to Arqiva, still on track to be completed between October 13 to October 19 after just over a week delay due to bad weather.

In a media briefing on Monday last week Arqiva also made public an estimated map of areas that may be still without TV signal once the new temporary mast is constructed.

The map shows that much of the coastal areas of North Yorkshire near Whitby will be found in what Arqiva are calling a “not-spot” where there will be no TV signal.
