Michael.2E0IHW #30867 BBC AM closures have been sneaking up on us for some time. We tend to listen to the radio when moving about, doing things, so a good signal for a portable radio is essential. Apparently, BBC Radio Devon will remain on 801 and 990kHz. Is this confirmed? Maybe somebody above the glass ceiling amazingly realises that there are many locations where FM or DAB is not available... Being tied to a roof aerial and living-room socket for FM or DAB is not an option for radio! Here's hoping...

The exception is BBC Ulster which is high power on 1341kHz and coverage into England, Scotland and Irish Republic (where FM/DAB is not an option).
