Technical
The 96 MHz FM signal from The Wrekin is the strongest, and can be heard from outside the county, especially along the M5 and M6 near Birmingham , as well as into western Staffordshire , southern Cheshire and Wrexham .
The other transmitters (on Black Hill near Clun , on Hazler Hill near Church Stretton , and in Mortimer Forest near Ludlow ) have a much weaker signal only heard up to about 6 miles (10 km) away.[citation needed ] These three transmitters are for broadcasting to the south of the county, which has a hilly terrain that reduces the effectiveness of FM transmissions.
The station also broadcasts on Freeview TV channel 721 in the BBC West Midlands region and streams online via BBC Sounds .
