God save the King weirdly sounds a lot better in these older broadcasts at a lower quality

First they stopped the carrier pigeons, then the mail ponies, then the telegraph, analysis TV is gone, the copper telephone cables are practically extinct, and new technology will make many more things obsolete in our lifetimes.

Such a sad day something else mended before it was broken and was nothing wrong with long wave or AM clearer than digital and works better

I appreciate the many years of listening to LW as FM didn’t (and still doesn’t) cover much of the west coast of Scotland

DAB uses too much battery power in an emergency.. wreckless decision to dismantle analogue transmissions

Oh my goodness. I hadn’t realised this. I lived in Norway in the 80s and we had Radio 4 LW on constantly. It kept us connected to the UK. And my parents always listened to the Archers omnibus on Sunday mornings - such evocative memories.
