Terrestrial television
Local television is served by the BBC's "Spotlight" based in Plymouth and by the ITV West Country channel based in Bristol. Terrestrial television is transmitted in digital from the Stockland Hill Transmitter and also a digital relay transmitter based at Highlands End. Due to Bridport's location in West Dorset, viewers are more likely to receive news about Somerset, Devon, Cornwall and the Channel Islands than they are about East and North Dorset.
