[HCDX] BBC World Service: The closure of 648 kHz medium wave
The BBC is ceasing its 648 kHz transmissions of World Service English language
radio on 27 March, 2011.
We have had to make some difficult decisions about the distribution of BBC
World Service radio around the world, as a result of the Spending Review
settlement that BBC World Service received at the end of 2010.
Closure of the 648 kHz service and medium wave frequencies to Russia, continues
the process of withdrawing from direct broadcasts to Europe in response to a
declining number of direct listeners.
However BBC World Service continues to be available in Europe by satellite,
cable and online.
In the UK it is available on dedicated channels across the whole of the UK on
DAB, online and on all digital TV platforms. This is in addition to overnight
transmissions of BBC World Service on Radio 4 frequencies.
