U.K. Longwave 198 kHz closure. Energy companies are still stating that the Radio Teleswitch Service will end on 30 June 2025 when the longwave transmissions are due to close. This date was also mentioned by the BBC a while ago for the end of the Radio 4 longwave service, although as far as I am aware no closure announcements have been broadcast recently.
TalkSport closed seven of its medium wave transmitters on 8 April.
1053 kHz Southwick; Rusthall; Stockton on Tees
1071 kHz Mansfield
1089 kHz Lisnagarvey
1107 kHz Duxhurst; Lydd
Nick Rank observed Clipstone 1071 kHz went off around 0800 UT.
Andrew Tett reports Southwick (Brighton) on 1053 kHz and Duxhurst on
1107 kHz went off around 1030 UT.
This leaves Talksport with 11 active transmitters as follows
1053 kHz Droitwich; Postwick
1071 kHz Wrekenton
1089 kHz Brookmans Park; Westerglen; Moorside Edge; Washford; Dartford T.
1107 kHz Boston; Fareham; Wallasey.
