choosing instead to listen to radio on other platforms including FM, satellite and online.
To ensure the BBC can invest in these and other platforms it is necessary to reduce shortwave provision, while keeping our programmes available at the key listening times for radio - in the morning and the evening. Shortwave transmission will therefore cease between 10am and 5pm local time and midnight and 2 am local time.
