Émetteur du mont Bessou, Telecommunication transmitter in Meymac, France

The Mont Bessou transmitter is a 200-meter tall antenna structure located at 976 meters elevation, rising as the highest building in the Corrèze department. It distributes television signals across multiple UHF frequencies while simultaneously connecting mobile phone networks.

The 199-metre pylon on Mont Bessou, at 976 metres altitude, is the highest structure in Corrèze. It carried the five analog UHF channels until analog television was switched off in Limousin on 29 March 2011. From that date the four digital multiplexes changed channels, and R5 began broadcasting on channel 26.

Radio France is the only broadcaster on the Mont Bessou transmitter, which carries four of its stations. The site also supports mobile telephony: antennas operated by Orange and Free Mobile cover much of Haute-Corrèze. Nearby, a separate pylon owned by Itas TIM (acquired by TDF in 2016) broadcasts the R1 and R4 multiplexes.

The 199-metre pylon stands on the summit of Mont Bessou at 976 metres, the highest point of the Corrèze, near Meymac. A second, smaller pylon owned by Itas TIM stands beside the TDF site and relays multiplexes R1 and R4. The site is reached by road up the mountain; the structures are fenced technical installations, not open to visitors.

The antenna serves a dual purpose as both a television and mobile phone network hub, supporting providers like Orange and Free Mobile across the region. This combination of broadcasting and cellular connectivity makes it crucial infrastructure for communication in a sparsely populated area.
