60 years ago, the Orissaare mast started showing TV and radio.
The mast is 180 meters tall.
At first, the mast showed black-and-white TV.
In 1974, color TV started working in Saaremaa.
The mast has five transmitters.
They broadcast 20 TV channels.
The mast is still operational.
Since 2023, the mast also broadcasts digital radio.
Levira says that the number of TV viewers has increased.
Now, 221,000 people watch TV.
The mast no longer broadcasts radio.
But the mast works when it receives a signal from the world.
This is interesting.
