I used to work for Arqiva, have been up the tower a few times, it is truly a strange feeling ascending in the darkness in the lift. On the second trip up the tower the lift halted abrupty which made us all jump, sadly it was my fat arse that had pressed against the emergency stop button. In a good breeze you can feel the tower flexing, still an amazing experience.
Great video, thank you! I finally visited the tower today for the first time, very impressive! :) I discovered it while hiking on Marsden Moor and always wanted to hike there. Today I finally got around to it 🗼❤️👍
My old man worked for the IBA from 1970 till 1991 and he was based there, they had family Christmas parties there and that was only the times I went onto the site. My dad and 5 of his brothers worked on the building of the 1st mast ( maybe not a claim to fame!🤦♂️🤣), he was full facts about the mast such as it can move up to 7ft at the top in the wind ... he loved working there...

I’m from London, drive many many miles from this! From about 50 miles away it looks unbelievable but it’s actually not that tall, it’s set on a huge rise and the top is crystal white so it glitters in the sun and be seen for 50-80 miles on a clear day
Really cool video :) I'm most interested in the radio side of this transmitter site, like the audio processors (and RDS encoders) a couple of other commenters mentioned. I'd be interested to see more on the radio transmitters themselves, but there doesn't seem to be any videos of UK ones that go in detail with a guy talking to the camera, even though I've seen quite a few American ones. Is it just not allowed to that extent in the UK?
Capital fm have the onmia 11 great sound of them boxes onmia 9 and 11 are the best especially the solor plexus bass preset gives the station almost a sub bass sound very clear pre emphasis for fm transmitter to
It's for all the radio equipment in and up there. It's worth a shit ton, never mind the cabelling. Used to know a bloke called Nigel who worked on this year's ago.
Why not?, if you had to have a room at the top for the equipment you might as well make it more attractive as a building using glass, plus windows on top would make workign up there nicer than a room with no natural light.
Yorkshire TV used to microwave outside broadcasts back to the top of the tower eg horse racing from York. There was a receiver in the gallery that was wheeled round to point at wherever the broadcast was coming from.
I grew up in Upper Cumberworth. We could see the base of the mast from the bathroom window, not just the top. We could receive not only TV with no aerial plugged in but Teletext too.
Could somebody help me.Emley Moor relayed Yorkshire TV and was it powerful enough to be received across the border into Manchester and Lancashire? Also could you receive Granada TV into Leeds and Yorkshire?
probrably cant be opened to the public bc anouther youtuber saild they cant open it to the public bc there is a lot of radation and can only do it at sertain times
Thank you for the interesting video, spoilt only by the total lack of any commentary/ explanation of what we were looking at. Oh, and that crappy music which I had to mute.
I'd really like to know more about this tower but I am DAMNED if I am going to endure eight minutes of bloody banging clanking howling noises to do so. This is the second video about Emley which has similar noises accompanying it. It there something about Emley moor which inspires such crap "music"???
++@@yorkshireadvrider6145++ Oh yes! Turn the narrative off a well. Good idea! No, I'll just turn the whole blooming thing off and be done with it! Volume control indeed.
WHY ON EARTH is this transmitter SO elaborate?. A GIGANTIC stone monolith when most others are just a lattice work structure,a BASIC mast to which they camp the dishes and transmitters etc.This bugger could be rented out as accommodation!.Do they have to pay council tax on it?. Did RAPUNZEL ever abide here?
The one it replaced was taller than this and just a metal tube. It fell over in a bad winter due to ice buildup on it and the guide wires. I assume they went the concrete way what didn't need guide wires to hold it up because we get bad weather up here and they did not want a replacement one to fall over too. This is a couple miles up the road from where i live.
Thank you for giving us a lovely guided tour.
You're welcome thanks
Who ever put theses series of videos on ( there are several others too) BIG THANKS to all of you ...
And I SECOND that. Well Said. And for my part I say..... Eiffel Tower? Whats That? we have EMLEY Tower!
Welcome
Love the 'thieves beware' sign, "What happened to the tower?" - "Thieves dismantled and stole it early in the morning".

Yeah even stranger working up there on a night shift when it's swaying in the wind. Worked at Emley for 22 years - thanks for sharing!!
You have a "fat arse"? ....... I'd keep quiet about it if I were you, as we can't see it in the comments! 😂😂😂
Interesting, feel like the room is moving?
@@treeleeoutdoors7843 no, the whole structure flexes. One lad in particular got really seasick when we were there, he had to go down. He was green.
@@marcse7en okay dude keep taking the medication

Wow! All that so we can watch tv! Amazing building.
You can’t put a price on the power of brainwashing the public. Which is why I watch TH-cam.

Just found this.Really enjoyed it. Thanks for taking the time and posting this. Would love to go up one day if I ever got the chance.
Thank you - been up it many hundreds of times with work, no longer work there now
I was born the year this was built very interesting to see what it looks like inside
Welcome - glad you enjoyed it!
thank you
I BASE jump and live in Yorkshire. You have no idea how much this video frustrates me! :) Much love you lucky lucky man.
Brilliant - that would be some platform to jump from. One day you never know. Jump safe pal!!!
People have abseiled it before - excellent location for a base jump!!
Really enjoyed this.thankyou for posting.

Did you put the fire suppression panel back to auto? The joys of working in such rooms haha
Intresting stuff ...thanks for sharing 👍🏻

Fantastic structure ,what company installed the lifts ?.
Not sure - built 1969/70 after original structure fell down - solid !!
Not sure but they are old and well serviced :)
Is that a spare antenna just inside the doorway?
No it is a training structure for Riggers to climb and practice rescue climbs - thanks
Did I see a webcam looking out from the gallery..?
Yes it is but not sure it is live still
Is the plum line at 5 :11 actually showing the tower swaying ?
Yes, designed to move in the wind
I would love to see the transmitter hall. It is valve based or semiconductors?
No they went years ago - solid state IOT now
@@marktaylor6266 was that at DSO?
@@brushhead Yep
@@marktaylor6266 is is still 870kW ERP or did it come down post DSO? I have a thing for transmitters.
@@brushhead Power was reduced at DSO to 174kW on all 6 multiplexes. Emley Moor also carries the Local TV service for Leeds at 5kW.
I heard there was an on-site restaurant ( For staff ) - Is that located in the tower ?
How did they get that transmit antenna in there, and why??
A combination of Heli lifts and pully
@@marktaylor6266 I mean downstairs inside the base of the tower... there is an antenna there, maybe a spare or a new one?
Most good video
Excellent, but would love to see the underground complex !
No underground complex i'm afraid
I love that the door into the tower has what appears to be a doorbell! :D
Lol no not a door bell, but very sturdy doors!!
Lol I noticed that - I thought it was the light switch! Guy is like ‘let’s switch the light on in here, before we go in’ 😊
nice equipoment optimods.... What radio station used the big Omnia 11 ? And wich one used the Optimod 8200 in the rack infront ?
Adam Morris Capital FM and Heart FM 👍
So capital fm must Use the big Omnia 11 and Heart must use the Optimod 8200. Correct ?
Capital and Heart
@@yorkshireadvrider6145 I think he was asking which of those two radio stations used which of those two audio processors.
Capital fm have the onmia 11 great sound of them boxes onmia 9 and 11 are the best especially the solor plexus bass preset gives the station almost a sub bass sound very clear pre emphasis for fm transmitter to
7:38 Who is going to steal that tower ? You cant exactly stick it into a pocket. A tad difficult !
If it was built in Liverpool theyd have a good try.
It's for all the radio equipment in and up there. It's worth a shit ton, never mind the cabelling. Used to know a bloke called Nigel who worked on this year's ago.
I live a couple of miles away and have been to the tower regularly but have never seen inside. The observation deck is amazing. Thank you
I'm intrigued as to why they placed an observation gallery on a transmitter tower?
It was built to house equipment. There is very little equipment now but back then it was full of broadcasting equipment.
YorkshireADVrider I understand that but why an observation gallery?

Why not?, if you had to have a room at the top for the equipment you might as well make it more attractive as a building using glass, plus windows on top would make workign up there nicer than a room with no natural light.

IMO this is how all TV towers should be built.
Agreed it is an awesome structure!!
Thanks YorkshireADVrider

When I drove to salford to wach a mansfield football game I passed Emly moore transition tower .
I live 2 miles away from that tower lol.
yes, I can see you :)
Lol me too probs a bit less
I live 16 miles away about in Rawmarsh
I grew up in Upper Cumberworth. We could see the base of the mast from the bathroom window, not just the top. We could receive not only TV with no aerial plugged in but Teletext too.
@David Wanklyn Aah lad, luxury...
I bet Fred Dibner would have loved to have climbed it and done some pointing......
I was thinking about him too 😅
Hahah yes, he wouldn't use a rope would he
Could somebody help me.Emley Moor relayed Yorkshire TV and was it powerful enough to be received across the border into Manchester and Lancashire?
Also could you receive Granada TV into Leeds and Yorkshire?
I don't think so.
Some parts of Leeds used to be able to receive TyneTees.
How many men does it take there, to change a lightbulb.🤭
Bet the thunderstorms⛈️ are entertaining!😬
5:08 a couple of FMB80s. (RDS encoders)
Yep
I see the rds encoder and the Sbsrx400 reciver for some stl links and onmia 11 fm for processor
I live 1 Mile away from Emley Moor
TOWER ...... not MAST! Glad I could correct you! 👍😂
Yeah well there is always one
That's big
Yes, it's a big one!
I'm your son playing www.roblox.com for free

There must be massive amounts of RF radiation up there.
Brill!
Thanks for watching glad you enjoyed it
thanks
4:00. earth is flat & vast
magnetic door contacs, cameras and smartwater, oof
It should be open to visitors this
But the only problem is the ice so they cant go sorry
I wish there was a sun at Emley moot
It used to be - sadly Health and Safety no longer allow it
probrably cant be opened to the public bc anouther youtuber saild they cant open it to the public bc there is a lot of radation and can only do it at sertain times

Sorry about that. I'm not a content creator, you can always turn the volume off (which you did) - well done!
Can't believe how boring it is at the top.
I expected it to be like an airport control tower.
yeah sorry about that :)
