13.11.2023 - United Kingdom United Kingdom

Medium-wave services carrying Greatest Hits Radio in Scotland will be turned off by the end of the year, RadioToday can reveal. In addition, Bauer will turn off AM transmitters carrying the national brand in Newcastle and South Yorkshire, along with Downtown Radio in Northern Ireland. Messages are currently being broadcast after each top of hour news bulletin suggesting listeners need to retune to keep listening. Global is also in the process of turning off its AM services, whilst the BBC has been doing it for many years, including some of BBC Radio Scotland’s in 2020, and has plans to turn off 5 Live on AM and BBC Radio 4 on LW in the near future.
