There are three transmitters located in the constituency: Lindores, Balmullo and Cupar, all of which are analogue-only relays. The majority of the constituency is however served by the main Craigkelly and Angus transmitters, both of which broadcast digital services already. The former transmitters will be upgraded to digital at switchover in 2010.
