The Manningtree frequency is the strongest. The 470-foot transmitter is actually just south of Manningtree, in Essex, and indeed is one of the BBC Essex MW transmitters. However, the BBC Radio Suffolk broadcasts are directional. It also has Virgin Radio on 1233kHz, BBC National FM, BBC DAB National (the only one for Suffolk and Essex), and Digital One. The Great Barton transmitter also has SGR-FM on 96.4FM. The Oulton transmitter also has The Beach on 103.4FM and Digital One (since 16th December 2005).
