Channel Master's original product was a prefabricated television aerial with hinged elements which would unfold and snap into place; this patented design greatly reduced installation time as existing antenna designs at the time had to be bolted together from multiple pieces by rooftop installers.

A new mast was built around 1983 to replace the original structure, primarily to support new mixed-polarisation FM antennas. A 788-foot (240 m) tall temporary mast was erected alongside the 1983 mast in the spring of 2009 while the latter's height was increased by 100 ft (30 m) to 887.5 ft (270.5 m).
The original mast at Winter Hill was a 140-metre (450 ft) tower that came into service on 3 May 1956, and carried the programmes of Granada Television (weekdays) and ABC Weekend Television. In 1966 services were transferred to a new higher mast erected adjacent to the original tower.

The station came on air on 17 February 1956, using two 5 kW transmitters and a 16-stack antenna mounted on a 450 feet (137 m) tall Eiffelised tower (one that is tapered exponentially towards the top).
The antenna used for broadcasting through the 1920s was the T-antenna, which consisted of two masts with loading wires on top, strung between them, requiring twice the construction costs and land area of a single mast. [1] (pp 77–78) In 1924 Stuart Ballantine published two historic papers which led to the development of the single mast antenna.
