Radio 4's long wave goodbye They may last 10 years or they may fail tomorrow. I wonder if RTE has some spares? |

13 Oct 14 - 05:04 PM (#3668774) Subject: RE: RTE Radio 1 Disappearing from Long Wave From: GUEST Yes Jim, it will certainly affect me, I'm in England and I listen to RTE quite a lot in the car and when I'm working in the garage (which is most days now I am retired). When long wave is switched off, only option will be on-line, and I can hardly take the computer down the garage. Besides, the Wi-Fi won't work down there at the bottom of the garden. What with that and the switch where I live from "Classic Gold" to "Smooth" radio, I am being forced to abandon the radio altogether! When I'm in Ireland I listen to Radio 4 on long wave, especially when cricket is on, so if/when they scrap that, end of!!!! Bloody nuisance to say the least. Rog |
