Brougher Mountain transmitting station is a major transmitting station in Northern Ireland. It is located between County Tyrone and County Fermanagh, on top of a 317-meter high hill called Brougher Mountain. It has four other transmitter sites in its digital television transmitter group, at Ederny, Derrygonnelly, Belcoo, and Lisbellaw. Brougher Mountain came into service on Monday 24 February 1964, transmitting the BBC Television Service on VHF 405 lines. The ITV service provided by Ulster Television launched from the Strabane transmitter located 40 miles north of Brougher Mountain on 18 February 1963 and its coverage extended down to the area covered by Brougher Mountain. It became the main UHF transmitter for the area in July 1978, when BBC One, BBC Two and ITV (Ulster Television) started transmitting in colour on the 625 line UHF service. Channel 4 started transmitting from the transmitter in December 1983. Due to its close proximity to the Irish republic, since the transmitter went on air in 1964, many living in counties Donegal, Leitrim, Roscommon and Sligo could receive the UK channels via spill-over signals from Brougher Mountain, as well as the Strabane transmitter.
