NTL's broadcast division has switched on its 250th digital commercial radio transmitter.
Caradon Hill, near Liskeard in Cornwall, is the location for the 250th installation, which makes Pirate FM, Plymouth Sound and BBC Radio Cornwall available for the first time on DAB digital radio.
The local multiplex also brings radio brands such as Classic Gold, The Storm and Kiss to the area for the first time.
James St Aubyn, High Sheriff of Cornwall and chairman of UKRD, which owns Pirate FM, said: "It's very good to see digital radio making inroads right across the country, and this celebration in Cornwall is all the more special for that.
"NTL has worked tirelessly to develop digital radio infrastructure throughout the UK and we're all very excited about the future of the medium."
