Good buy to radio4 long wave, it finally stop broadcasting tonight. No more listing to it when in France anymore. Given the current transmitter in Droitwich, first started broadcasting 1934. It's amazing that it's been running for so long. 1/2

Listening to Test Match Special yesterday on Radio 5 Xtra rather than Radio 4 LW from the car brought this event home to me. Got to say it does sound loads better on DAB. :)

I did wonder where test match special was moving to.

Although it did not carry Radio 4 until 1978, previously it carried Radio2 and before that the light program (which was renamed to Radio2 in 1967). Radio4 was previously known as the Home Service, and before that, the National Programe.
