ALL TV services from the Oxford transmitter have been restored following a fire at the top of the mast.

Signals through analogue and digital boxes like Freeview were cut off after the blaze began at the transmitter, in Beckley, at about 3pm.

A spokesman for mast operator Arqiva said: "An evening inspection revealed only limited damage to the structure itself and television services have resumed from the reserve antenna, initially at reduced power.

"Investigations will continue to determine the cause of the fire and assess damage to the new main antenna.

"Some short daytime interruptions to services may be required to enable this.

"Arqiva apologises for the inconvenience caused to viewers in this area."

Other services such as Sky were unaffected by the fire.
