The transmitter Grünten on the summit ridge of the Übelhorn , the highest point of the Grünten , is a 94.5 meter high transmission tower of the Bavarian Broadcasting Corporation (BR), which was built in 1951. Originally it was 38 meters high. In 1956 the first TV program was increased to 52 meters; in 1994 the tower was 92 meters high. The basic network transmitter , a steel lattice tower with an antenna cylinder attached, supplies the southern part of the administrative district of Swabia in Bavaria and large parts of the Bodensee-Oberschwaben region in Baden-Württemberg with radio and television. To supply the transmitter, the BR operates the Grüntenbahn , a cable car that has been open to the public once a week during the summer months since June 2007. Public transport on the Grünten has been suspended since May 2014.

Three DVB-T multiplexes, five BR radio programs and antenna Bavaria on VHF as well as five DAB frequency blocks are broadcast. Since 1989, two radio programs of the Südwestrundfunk ( SWR1 Baden-Württemberg and SWR3 ) have been broadcasting from here , as the Schwarzer Grat transmitter location (near Isny im Allgäu ), originally planned by the then Südwestfunk to supply Upper Swabia, could not be built. The SWR's DAB -Mux has also been broadcasting from there since December 2017 .

The transmission power of all Bavarian FM radio programs is 100 kW. It had to be reduced in the meantime, because otherwise - due to the low height of the transmitting antenna - the legal limit values ​​for electromagnetic field strengths would have been exceeded in certain areas at the Grüntengipfel. After a modification, the maximum permissible power of 100 kW is used again.
