Sorry Richard... I didn't read your reply to Glen carefully enough. Given the BBC's unsympathetic response to previous complaints there is probably no point even writing but if people want to protest where do we write. Where the loss will be really felt will be for Sportworld on the weekend which is not stramed online.

Which is correct?

Remarkable that the BBC somehow can't fund a transmitter for an hour (0100-0200) somewhere that could reach Eastern North America...such as WYFR (which they already use) or WHRI (the old WSHB). Even at $100 / transmitter-hour this would cost $36,500 for the year. See http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/schedules/frequencies/index.shtml for the notice; here are the new frequencies as of the A-05 changeover: To the Caribbean: 6195 1000-1100 UT 11865 1100-1300 15190 1300-1400 11675 2100-2130 15390 2100-2200 5975 2200-0100 To Central America: 5975 0300-0400 9605 1200-1300 To South America: 5975 0200-0300 9825 0200-0300 11720 2130-2145 12095 0200-0300 15190 1200-1300 We'll have to rely on broadcasts targeting Europe, Africa and the Pacific (for our left coast friends).
