Wales is the size of Massachusetts. Do you think OTA broadcasters
require 75 translator sites to cover Massachusetts?
Who is being obtuse?
There is no comparison in the populations density of Massachusettes
and Wales. Translator sites are needed in the U.S. for small
population pockets that are not served by the full power stations
because of:
Distance
Terrain Blockage
Environmental factors
You can't compare parts of a country that are similar to New England
states, in size and population, with what we term as "remote places"
in the US.
Nor can you compare the government commitments to provide TV
coverage. The simple act is that the most effective way to cover
Wales was with translators. Trying to compare htis to New England is
ludicrous at best...
