Transmitter On 1 May 1971, the transmitter (equipped with Tesla III-Zona) began broadcasting television signal from the new tower. In September 1973, broadcasting of the second Czechoslovak Television program was added. After the Velvet Revolution, the transmitter (using a Tesla equipment) was spreading signals of Czech Television (ČT1 and ČT2), Nova and Prima and Czech Radio (Radiožurnál, Praha (today Dvojka) and Vltava) and of private operators ( Radio Proglas, Radio Contact Liberec and Europe 2). In connection with the broadcasting digitization in the Czech Republic, in June 2009 the antenna systems in the laminate extension were updated. In addition to radio and television broadcasting, Jested is also an important node for radio relay and optical links. Mobile operators T-Mobile, O2, Vodafone and Nordic Telecom have base stations (BTS) here.
