Urgent Works on the Għargħur Transmitting Tower
Due to unforeseen circumstances, please be informed that on Monday 30th December 2024, work needs to be carried out at the Għargħur Transmitting Tower, weather permitting. Since during this work, the master antenna will be switched off, the Authority will be switching all the transmissions onto the backup antenna at a reduced transmission power. This is to safeguard the health and safety of our personnel.
Work is expected to start at 08:00 and lasts around 4 hours. We kindly ask you to have your technical personnel on standby at Għargħur at 07:30 so that the necessary changes can be applied before the work can kick off.
While thanking you for your cooperation, please inform your producers and presenters who will be notifying their listeners accordingly.
The Authority understands that such work cause inconvenience to your transmission more so during the festive season, however, the Authority gives priority to the safety of the transmission site.
