France: Rhone producers 'will block roads' to stop new TV mast

(Decanter) - Rhone producers including Michel Chapoutier are threatening direct to stop the building of an 18m antenna on Hermitage hill. The beauty of the renowned vineyard of Hermitage La Chapelle is being threatened by construction of the TV antenna, which is to be operated by the media company ITAS TIM.
This will be the second TV antenna on the Hermitage hill: the first is just under 10m high, and has been there for several decades. This second one, for which planning permission has been granted, is 50m from the chapel of Saint Christophe, which gives La Chapelle vineyard its name, and is itself an historic monument.
