Title: AM Switch-off commences.. Post by Administrator on Aug 12th, 2017, 4:00pm According to this site.... (a516Digital) "A number of BBC local radio stations will cease broadcasting on Medium Wave." The piece goes on to say that several stations- where there is sufficient FM or DAB coverage -will loose their AM service from January 2018. This follows a successful trial when there was little public reaction to the closure of their local station's AM service. The BBC Local Radio Stations involved are:- Sussex, Surrey, Humberside, Wiltshire, Nottingham, Kent, and Lincolnshire which will no longer broadcast on AM, and BBC Devon, Lancashire and Essex will have reduced AM coverage. In his BBC blog, here, Kieran Clifton (Director, BBC Ditribution & Business Development) says that 13 Medium Wave transmitters will be closed in 2018. |
