The original facility included a guyed steel tubular mast that was primarily used for radio and television transmission.

[9] Arqiva confirmed that they were working on restoring service using a combination of temporary structures and existing infrastructure around the region, but were unable to provide a timescale for this.

[10] Viewers in the Hartlepool and Redcar and the eastern edges of Middlesbrough were able to receive their television services from the Eston Nab transmitting station.

[13] On 6 October 2021, Arqiva carried out a controlled demolition of the old mast, as the structure was found to be irreparably damaged.

The top mounted UHF DTV antenna giving a total height of 306.2 metres (1,005 ft).

[15] Transmission equipment for the new mast was switched on in the early hours of Monday 22 May 2023, thereby fully restoring Standard Definition TV signals.

In July 2007, it was confirmed by Ofcom that the television frequency assignment after digital switchover would be such that a wideband or group K aerial would be required for reception of all six multiplexes.

However, the three public service multiplexes would still fall within the station's original analogue frequency range assignment of aerial group A.
