BIII Membury re-radiated Midlands ATV (which had its 'home' transmitter at Lichfield): this was not really appreciated by viewers in the Thames Valley or Chilterns areas who saw themselves as much more interested in the goings-on in nearby London (which was much easier-to-get-to either by train or car than Birmingham).

As far West as Swindon and Marlborough and even if you had a good location, Devizes - people put up big vertically-polarised BIII arrays so they could get Croydon (even with a grainy picture) rather than "Midlands ATV" from Membury

[I've recently taken some pics of horizontal BIII Membury antennas in Marlborough. Queue here for postings rather soon].
