Iirc Global now only retains one MW service - Gold in Manchester, and they are bound to switch this off by the end of the year.

Next year will likely see the cessation of Radio 4 on long wave and the remaining BBC Local MW outlets are likely to go very soon, leaving only TalkSPORT and Radio 5 Live on AM.

I do find it surprising that Ofcom chooses not to re-advertise any of these frequencies. AM radio is continuing in America so why let it die in the UK?
