Mendip TV Mast. This is at 4 kW, mixed polarisation. The signal is highly directional, with the maximum ERP only being radiated to the south and into Somerset in order to prevent a coverage and thus programming overlap with Heart from Bristol. Other frequencies are 97.1 MHz FM from Chedington (near Crewkerne), which is at 400 watts, but again directional in order to prevent interference with nearby Wessex FM from the Dorchester area, which broadcasts on 97.2 MHz FM. This transmitter exists to reinforce coverage in the Yeovil, North Dorset and South Somerset areas. 96.5 MHz FM radiates from a 60 watt transmitter located in the grounds of the converted farm at Shoreditch in Taunton, from which Orchard FM and Heart Somerset were based. This transmitter reinforces signal in the Taunton area. References Radio stations in Somerset Radio stations established in 1989 Somerset Defunct radio stations in the United Kingdom
