They operated the BBC transmitter network and NTL the old IBA network.
Crown Castle were bought by National Grid and then became National Grid Wireless.
NTL were bought by Macqurie and became Arqiva which then bought NGW meaning all terrestrial transmission was brought under one company.
Yes Crown Castle (as it then was), the BBC and Sky were the winners of the 3 DTT multiplexes after ITV Digital closed down, creating Freeview
