The standard mast (in parts of the world--other places still regard them as towers) differs significantly from towers (see List of towers) in rarely being free standing or having any habitable space excluding attached structures at ground level or service ladders/elevators.
For high power transmitters in the MW range masts with lengthes around the half wave of the radiated wavelength are prefered because they focus the radiated power better to the ground than constructions with heights of quater wavelengthes, which are prefered of economical reasons for low power medium wave transmitters.

The Mendip TV Mast is a 922-foot (281 m) tall television broadcasting mast.
The mast is situated on the summit of Pen Hill (on the Mendip Hills of Somerset in England, National Grid Reference ST 564488) at 1002 feet (305 metres) above sea level.

For radio systems in the longwave and mediumwave range the value of the height should be in the range between a sixth and five eighth of the wavelength with favourite values at the quarter or the half of the radiated wavelength.
For high power transmitters in the MW range, masts with lengths around half of the radiated wavelength are preferred because they focus the radiated power better to the ground than constructions with heights of quarter wavelengths, which are preferred of economical reasons for low power medium wave transmitters.

TV broadcasting in the UK uses a range of transmission frequencies - from 470 to 854 MHz This UHF band is split into 48 channels, numbered 21 to 68.
Most VCRs (as well as other equipment) send pictures and sound to the TV by means of a connecting, co-axial cable which carries a UHF signal produced by an output modulator unit inside the recorder.
Manufacturers commonly pre-set the modulators on VCRs and satellite decoders sold in the UK to channels 36 or 37, in the knowledge that no TV transmissions currently use these frequencies and therefore there can be no interference with pictures generated by the video equipment.

 Street to Wells
Both Glastonbury and Street are well seen of course, and your eyes are drawn irresistibly to the isolated hillock of Tor Hill and its ruined church tower a mile to the east.
Its position gives it a commanding view across much of this corner of Somerset; the western panorama includes the Quantocks and most of the country we've walked in the last two days, so it is really surprising that the Tor wasn't seen from anywhere on the walk until just the other side of Street yesterday.
The panorama takes in Street, Glastonbury and Wells (it should be easy to spot the cathedral from up here), and the white tower of the Mendip TV mast will also be prominent (and will remain so until we're well north of Bath in four days' time).

The ITA built their masts in different locations, for instance Croydon near London, Lichfield in the Midlands, Winter Hill and Emley Moor in the north and Black Hill in mid-Scotland.
Non-co-location: The use of some radio masts and band III masts can lead to problems if the transmitter site for Channel 5 is in a direction beyond the acceptance angle of the aerial used for the other four channels.
The cure could be to adjust the aerial such that it does not point directly at either mast but both are within the acceptance angle, but this will not work in locations where the direction is significantly different, or where very low ghosting is required.
