According to the transmission gallery (which generally seems accurate) the Windemere TX entered service in 1972, supposedly carrying both BBC1/2 and VHF-FM from the outset.

Windermere was originally a BBC landlord site with BBC national FM radio and BBC 1 & 2 entering service during 1972. ITV was added on 13th April 1973 and Channel 4 from June 1984. The UHF cylinder contains an east facing cardioid. DSO was on 24th June and 22nd July 2009.
BBC FM radio was re-engineered for mixed polarisation and Radio Cumbria was added in April 1986. Radio 1 was added on 11th March 1994.
