During the Second World War, in 1943, the BBC built a transmitting station on the east coast of Humberside, England named BBC Ottringham. It's purpose was to counter the increase in German jamming signals, and to broadcast propaganda into Germany. Following the end of the war, and with lack of funds, the station was deconstructed in 1953 and its transmitters moved to Droitwich.
