As a small boy living in Holmfirth, I remember our family visit to the Holme Moss transmitter open day. I recall a long queue past an early four lens turret camera on a tripod operated by a man with headphones. I said to my dad that I wanted to be a cameraman and work for the BBC! Many years later I got my wish as I eventually became a freelance cameraman and worked on the BBC's Business Breakfast program. In February I celebrated 30 years being a freelance cameraman.
BBC TV from Holme Moss on Channel 2 could be received easily as far south as Birmingham, to this day, radio from Holme Moss can be received far and wide.
