Just been looking on wikipedia and found this interesting link to the transmitters at rugby. Subterranea Britannica: Sites: Rugby Radio Station
I wonder if thats true.
This site is earmarked for a new town I believe. They're slowly taking the masts down now as they're defunct apart from the rugby clock and thei 'secret' use.
Although protesters to the new town did manage to delay several being blown up. BBC NEWS | England | Coventry/Warwickshire | Rabbits delay masts' demolition

that means that unless they're still used for this secret use all of the masts are now defunct.

If you read that explains the reason for the broadcast rather than fibre optics. Many homes have a video, dvd or clock that gets it's time through the time signal transmitted from rugby or whereever it is.
I had a video that kept putting the wrong date on daweo blamed rugby! as if. If that was true everyone elses would be wrong.

I work there, and can assure you there's nothing running any more on the radio station, it's all dead, because BT got greedy and lost the contract with the MOD...

A new edition of a book telling the history of the site is being released, to mark its 100th anniversary: https://rugbyobserver.co.uk/news/book-t ... centenary/

That might be an interesting read.
