What is Radio Controlled?
In the radio and TV industry, having accurate clocks in every studio is essential - to make sure that key programme junctions are hit, and to ensure that the radio and TV news happens exactly at the top of the hour.
Until the 1990's, stations used expensive systems for getting the accurate time, but now radio controlled timepieces are available for home use. Radio-controlled clocks are accurate to the second as they get updated with time information over-the-air from an atomic clock. They self-correct when the clocks go back or forward due to summertime adjustments, and so are incredibly accurate and need little if any adjustment, ever...
How do they work? Radio-controlled timepieces receive regular time and date updates over the air via a constantly broadcast long wave radio signal. Clocks on sale in the UK either receive their time signal over-the-air from Anthorn in Cumbria (MSF 60kHz), or from the DCF77 European transmitter in Mainflingen, Frankfurt, Germany
