The Pohorje Transmitter (also known as Maribor 1) is a facility for radio and TV-broadcasting in the Pohorje Mountains west of Maribor, northeastern Slovenia, above sea level. It uses a tall lattice tower. Although this tower is designed as free-standing, it is guyed at two levels in six directions. This extensive additional guying is unusual, especially considering that the tower is not very tall and that it is situated in a forest area.
Pohorje makes up a single-frequency network (SFN) with 6 other transmitters (Krim, Krvavec, Nanos, Pleà ¡ivec, Tinjan and Trdinov vrh). In summer 2016 the SFN covered 89% of highways and 67% of households for indoor reception with a portable receiver. Programs use HE-AAC v2 audiocodec.
There are 2 reports of a successful long-distance reception of the multiplex from this transmitter in Slovakia in Skalica and near TopoþÃÂany, 290 km away.
Until the middle of 2012 Mux B from Norkring was broadcasting on channel 67. The operator left the Slovenian market.
Analogue channels were broadcast until 1 December 2010.
