From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Sandale transmitting station is the main radio transmitting station for the county of Cumbria, including the Lake District. It broadcasts regional variations of BBC1 and BBC2. Main television channels come from the nearby Caldbeck transmitting station.

Until 1993 it broadcast Radio Solway. Now it broadcasts Radio Scotland on the same frequency.
