Historic radio mast set for demolition.
An historic radio mast which famously transmitted the Coronation of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth and also heralded the start of Welsh regional programming could be headed for demolition.
The former BBC transmitter at Penmon, Anglesey, played an important role during the Second World War and a huge part in the development of Welsh broadcasting, but is now redundant.
Transmissions started at Penmon on February 1, 1937, after a long campaign calling for Welsh regional programming. During the War Penmon was also known for broadcasting the Home Service and later the Welsh Home Service.
