The Divis is the main high-power UHF and BBC National FM/DAB station that serves County Antrim and parts of County Down. Sited just outside Belfast, it is the primary UHF/FM main station in Northern Ireland. Divis was opened by the BBC on 21 July 1955 as the first permanent television transmitter to be established within Ireland. Mast Height: 141.7 m.

Lisnagarvey transmitting station

Coordinates: 54°29'23" N / 6°3'37" W
The Lisnagarvey transmitting station is a facility for mediumwave broadcasting located on the south western edge of the town of Lisburn, Northern Ireland. The station was built by the BBC for the Regional Programme to be transmitted to Northern Ireland and it went into service in 1936. It is now owned by National Grid Wireless. The station includes three radio masts, including two standard lattice masts and one diamond shaped Blaw-Knox Radiator. The two standard lattice masts have a wire slung T-antenna suspended between them. The Blaw-Knox radiator is the only one of its kind in Western Europe. The height of a Blaw-Knox radiator is related to the frequency (or wavelength) of the service transmitted, and for maximum efficiency should be exactly one half wavelength. Its height was originally 475 ft (144.8 metres), but it was shortened when the station's broadcast frequency was changed. Similar masts in Europe can be found nowadays only at Lakihegy, Hungary, at Riga, Latvia, at Vakarel, Bulgaria and at Stara Zagora, Bulgaria.
