Re: AM Radio fading into history
All the Scottish GHR AM services & the one in Newcastle have now switched to retune loops, as has Downtown Radio in Belfast. This just leaves the South Yorkshire licence group (Sheffield, Barnsley & Doncaster) still carrying the GHR AM service.
When local commercial AM services are closed, the licence to use the frequency at that location is handed back to OFCOM. The only way for Bauer or Global to retain a licence is to ask permission to modify the service, as Global did when they migrated Gold stations to Smooth sometime ago. Frequencies are not allowed to go "silent" & still be retained by an licencee.
