Neither the BBC or Ofcom know anything about the state of the transmitter as Arqiva owns the site and transmitters. Their engineers maintain them.

The electricity industry said late February that they would start replacing smart meters again, they paused during the winter. They replaced over 300,000 last year, 154,000 to replace this year.

The RTS signal is still being broadcast, electricity industry has been paying most of the costs of the transmitter operation and maintenance for some years.
