Analogue television from the Wrekin transmitter was switched off during April 2011. BBC2 analogue was switched off on 6 April and the remaining four on 20 April.
Unlike analogue television, The Wrekin had a sub-transmission site, also known as The Wrekin B, designed to serve the east of the region, to fill areas in which the main transmitter didn't broadcast into. This was necessary due to co-channel interference issues with Moel-y-Parc, on channels 42, 45 and 49. After digital switchover, the frequencies serving the east of the region were removed for compromise frequencies that has better reception in all areas of the region.
