Émetteur de Chissay, Radio and television transmitter in Chissay-en-Touraine, France
The Chissay transmitter is a broadcast facility in the Loir-et-Cher department that serves the region with television and radio signals. At its center stands a 205-meter guyed mast positioned 138 meters above sea level, from which multiple digital channels are distributed across the Tours area and surrounding communities.
The facility began broadcasting in 1969 and transmitted analog signals for decades before the digital transition in 2010. This shift modernized the quality and reach of services provided to listeners and viewers across the region.
The transmitter broadcasts multiple Radio France programs including France Musique, France Culture, France Inter, and France Bleu Touraine at 8 kW each.
The mast is visible from nearby roads and can be spotted from several vantage points in the surrounding area. Since it is an active broadcast facility, visitors should view it from public areas rather than approaching the installation itself.
Beyond broadcasting, the site houses telecommunications relays for mobile networks and operates data transmission systems for multiple service providers. This dual purpose makes it a central hub supporting both broadcast and commercial communications across the region.
