I got good BBC FM reception from Wrotham. I presume that any FM

Beulah Hill started out as an ITV transmitting station? Do Crystal
and Alexandra Palace just transmit BBC FM to fill in Wrotham shadows?

Effectively yes. R4 reception in particular used to be very poor in much
of South London. Which is why I was an early adopter of DAB.

Without checking, I think that AP FM (or is it CP?) is a bit more than a
fill-in for S London. I think it covers all of London and beyond. Way
out to the west of London, R4 on 93.2MHz seems as strong as the more
distant Wrotham on 93.5MHz.
