Mary Lacey & Dawn: There are a few notices showing recent outages for Tunbridge Wells transmitter. There were no advanced warnings of planned engineering work so it seems likely that there has been a transmitter fault of some kind which may not yet be completely resolved. Do not attempt to retune as this will delete all of your correctly tuned channels and leave you with no way of knowing when the transmitter is working again.
