Wrexham-Rhos transmitting station, Broadcasting transmitter station in Moss Village, Wales.
The Wrexham-Rhos transmitting station is a broadcasting facility with a 45-meter lattice tower that sends television and radio signals to approximately 85,000 households in northern Wales. The site operates as a Freeview Light transmitter, distributing several national digital television channels and FM radio services.
The facility began transmitting in 1977 during the National Eisteddfod event in Wrexham, initially sending S4C and BBC One Wales content to local communities. This launch marked the start of organized television coverage for the area.
The station broadcasts S4C programming and serves Welsh-speaking audiences in the region. It plays a role in keeping media connections active for communities that depend on these local services.
The station is a broadcasting facility visible from nearby areas in a rural setting. The site is an active infrastructure location, so public access may be limited and visitors should approach the outer areas only.
The station was specifically built to overcome signal blockage caused by Hope Mountain. This allows it to reach areas that cannot receive broadcasts from the main Moel-y-Parc transmitter station.
