The station expanded its services in 1982 to include S4C, supporting Welsh language programming distribution throughout the northern regions of Wales.
The transmitting mast is visible from public areas and stands as a notable landmark in the landscape. The station itself is not a public attraction, but the surrounding Anglesey countryside offers walking routes and coastal views.
During the 1970s, households in Dublin and Wicklow, Ireland pointed their antennas across the Irish Sea to pick up broadcasts from this station. This demonstrates how far the signal traveled and the lengths viewers went to access programming from neighboring countries.
