Neath Abbey transmitter re-radiates the signal received off-air from Kilvey Hill about 10 km to the southwest.

When it came, the digital switchover process for Neath Abbey duplicated the timing at the parent station, with the first stage taking place on Wednesday 12 August 2009 and the second stage was completed on Wednesday 9 September 2009, with the Kilvey Hill transmitter-group becoming the first in Wales to complete digital switchover.

After the switchover process, analogue channels had ceased broadcasting permanently and the Freeview digital TV services were radiated at an ERP of 10 W each.

The UK's digital switchover commenced at Kilvey Hill (and therefore at Neath Abbey and all its other relays) on 12 August 2009.

According to Digital UK[2] ITV1 Wales would take over the vacated BBC Two slot at all relays of Kilvey Hill until the switchover was complete.
