On the mountain peak are television and radio transmitters which broadcast to locations such as Moree, Tamworth, Gunnedah and Narrabri as it provides a prime location to give television coverage to vast areas in the North West Slopes and Plains region.[3]

The summit of Mount Dowe is often 10 °C (18 °F) colder than the valley floor. Mount Dowe can also receive snow during winter but usually this is only a light dusting.[4]
