RTE operate a large transmitter close to its peak at 450 metres above ordnance datum. The 300 ft (90 m) mast carries analogue UHF television to Dublin city and county, as well as FM and DAB radio. Other masts carry the majority of Dublin's local radio stations and some of the bigger pirate stations.

Transmissions began from Three Rock in June 1978, with RTÉ 1 and RTÉ 2 transmitting on UHF. Prior to 1978, Dublin had to rely on the Kippure television transmitter (which didn't satisfactorily cover some eastern and southern parts of the city) or a low power transmitter (now defunct) located at the RTÉ television centre itself (which served most of the districts not reached by Kippure)

The site is one of two RTÉ Network sites used for testing of new technology, including digital radio and digital television.
