Latest news on the Broadford and Bendigo TV transmitters.

The Broadford tower is still having issues on and off since temporarily switching to Shepparton in February.
Although the issues are not new they have certainly become worse since that changeover in early February.

We have written to the Mitchell Shire Council (Mayor and councilors) directly to report the issues and they have requested a council officers report on the Mt Hickey Broadford transmitter reliability issues. (Mitchell Shire own the transmitter).

The Bendigo Mt Alexander tower (commercial networks) is still running a hybrid channel at low power and may not be back to full power until early 2027.
Once this is repaired it is likely the Mt Hickey transmitter will be directed back to Bendigo (a retune of customer equipment will be required when this happens)
ABC and SBS from Bendigo are already back to full power. (They are on a different tower at Mt Alexander, and their equipment is in a different building and didn't sustain anywhere near as much damage from the fires in January)

Some customers in our area have no choice other than Bendigo direct and will still most likely only have ABC and SBS.

Feel free to message me (Rodney) if you have any questions.

Latest news on the Bendigo tower from the official site (BAI) that does the work, is likely early 2027 (possibly a bit sooner) for full power for the commercial channels. ABC and SBS are already at full power. So commercial channel coverage in Kilmore and the surrounds, direct from Bendigo, is still most unlikely.

Unfortunately the Mt Hickey Broadford tv transmitter is acting up again!
Mitchell Shire council are aware and as per usual we recommend not tuning your TVS at this time.

16/04/2026

Unfortunately there is another outage at Mt Hickey, Prime 6 is currently off and technicians are looking into it.
As per previous we don't recommend tuning your TV'S at this time.

14/04/2026

We believe Win TV from Broadford is now operational can anyone confirm please?

PS if you tuned your TV whilst Win was off air a retune may be required.

13/04/2026

Hearing many reports that channel Nine (Shepparton Win TV) via Mt Hickey Broadford, is not currently working.
Whilst many on the west side of Kilmore can, we unfortunately cannot receive Mt Hickey reception at our business location in Kilmore and are unable to directly confirm this issue.
Normally we would advise do not retune your TV or device at this time until the situation is resolved and to contact the Mitchell Shire Council to confirm if necessary, as they are responsible for the maintenance on the transmitter.

**Update the problem has definitely been reported and is currently being investigated.

Tip of the day
Having problems with mobile phone calls near or just outside your house but the mobile signal strength seems fine?
Check out the WiFi calling settings on your device, which is typically on by default.
If it's on try turning it off!

Update on Bendigo reception and transmitter.
For viewers that received their channels direct from Bendigo, and have no other option you may wish to try a rescan now.
The commercial networks now have a lower powered hybrid version of their services running which gives 2 programs per network for Prime,WIN and Southern Cross.
It may not work in weaker signal areas as it is a temporary, and seems to be a lower powered solution, but it is worth a try.
ABC and SBS appear back at full power from the Bendigo site.

The timeframe for complete repairs still appears to be potentially months not weeks.

For viewers of the Broadford Mt Hickey tower the temporary solution of a refeed from Shepparton, implemented by Mitchell Shire, appears to be working pretty well.
If you receive signals from MT Hickey and haven't already done so, a rescan should bring up Shepparton commercial channels on your TV.
