The Belmont transmitting station is situated one mile west of the village of Donington near Market Rasen
and Louth in Lincolnshire. It is owned and operated by Arqiva.
It has a guyed tubular steel mast, with a lattice upper section. The mast is now 1,154 feet (351.7 m)
high although it was originally higher.
It was built in 1965 and it began transmissions on 20 December of that year.
Between October 2009 and April 2010, the mast was shortened as part of the Digital Switchover works,
most of the top section above the fifth stay level was removed.
The transmitter broadcasts digital television and both analogue and digital radio to Lincolnshire, eastern Yorkshire, northern parts of Norfolk and some parts of Nottinghamshire. When it was first operated it transmitted (amongst others) ITV station Anglia Television. Following a re-organisation of ITV
coverage in 1972, from 1974 it started transmitting neighbouring station Yorkshire Television instead,
which it continues to do to this day. Due to most of the region being flat, Belmont has few relay stations although there is a main relay station at Oliver's Mount covering the Scarborough area.
