The Waltham transmitting station is a broadcasting and telecommunications facility at Waltham-on-the-Wolds, 5 miles (8 km) north-east of Melton Mowbray.

It sits inside the Waltham civil parish near Stonesby, in the district of Melton, Leicestershire, UK.

It is a shorter version of the second Emley Moor transmitter which collapsed whilst broadcasting on 19 March 1969, due to the weight of ice on the structural cables.

It is now the main TV transmitter for all digital terrestrial channels covering the East Midlands, predominantly including most of Leicestershire, Rutland, Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire and parts of Lincolnshire.

In July 2007 it was confirmed by Ofcom that at DSO (Digital Switchover) Waltham would be transmitting five – of the six – MUXes within its original C/D group.

When Waltham undertakes its 700 MHz clearance, between February and March 2020, it will become an A group – excluding MUXES 7 and 8 which are due to be switched off before the end of 2022 anyway (see graph).

[3] Waltham has also 13 low-power relay stations located in Derby, Leicester, Ashbourne, Matlock, Belper, Birchover, Darley Dale, Ambergate, Ashford in the Water, Parwich, Eastwood, Little Eaton and Stamford.
