Residents in the South Wight are experiencing problems receiving TV, radio and mobile phone signals this morning.
OnTheWight reader Christine Green got in touch to find out what was causing the problem after her TV and radio signal dropped at 7.01am.
We’ve been in touch with the BBC press office to find out more and they’re looking into it, but it sounds as though there’s a problem with the transmitter.
We’re not sure how wide-spread the problem is across the South Wight, so if you’re receiving TV and radio with no problem, do leave a comment below to let us know.
Luckily for residents, there’s plenty going on in town with the Ventnor Fringe Festival and Isle of Wight Film Festival to keep us entertained.
Update:
A spokesperson from the BBC press office told us,
“Mains power failure at the Ventnor transmitter has led to the loss of reception for 5000 homes in the area. Work is currently taking place to rectify the problem.”
