BFBS-1 (British Forces Broadcasting Service) Northern Ireland

There are currently 6 MW transmitters carrying BFBS Northern Ireland. They are all 1 Watt emrp except Bessbrook Mill which is 0.5 Watts. They carry identical programming, so there is no method of working out which of the six you're receiving. The transmitters are located at:

• 1287 - Aldergrove
• 1287 - Ballykelly
• 1287 - Ballymena
• 1287 - Abercorn Barracks, Ballykinler, Co. Down
• 1287 - Bessbrook Mill, Bessbrook, Co. Armagh
• 1287 - Palace Barracks, Holywood, Co. Down

Lisburn used to be on 1287 kHz as well, but is now on 100.6 FM in stereo. Aldergrove, Ballykinler and Holywood will soon move to FM too.

BFBS Northern Ireland is also the filler service on RAF Lyneham (1449 kHz) and RAF Marham (1278 kHz).
