British use of high band.

High band (band 3) in Britain is channels 6 to 13. ITV started in late 1955 on channel 9 broadcasting from Croydon to the London area. Then in 1956 Litchfield (near Birmingham) on ch 8 fired up for the English midlands, Winter Hill ch 9 for north west England & Emley Moor ch 10 for Yorkshire. Then in the late 1950's Black Hill fired up on ch 10 for central Scotland, Chillerton Down on ch 11 for Southern England, St Hillery ch 10 for South Wales/West of England, Black Mountain ch 9 for Northern Ireland, Mendalsham ch 11 for East England, Burnhope ch 8 for north east England, Caldbeck ch11 for Borders area, plus others. Channels 6,7,12 & 13 were not used till the early/mid 1960's so there was a lot of channel reuse of 8,9,10 & 11. In 1964 (I think) the BBC started to use High band as low band was saturated, 1'st BBC high band was Winter Hill ch 12 for north west England, Wenvoe ch 13 for South wales, Belmont ch 13 for Lincolnshire, Caldbeck ch 6 for south east Scotland, Moel-Y-Parc ch 6 for north Wales...

High band is now used for digital radio using DAB & DAB+ systems...
