I like Radio 4, on Long Wave.
And like the days of the Medes and Persians, its days are numbered*. Arqiva, who own and operate the transmitters for the BBC can no longer get the valves. They quite literally bought up all the stocks they could and when they are gone - that is it.
Precious few broadcasters transmit anything on LW these days, and not at the power of R4 LW either. There is no suitable new transmitters made, and the days of the BBC being able to afford a bespoke one have long gone.
