The Closure Of 648 kHz BBC World Service
The BBC has closed its 648 kHz transmissions of World Service English language radio on 27 March, 2011. The BBC said it had to make some difficult decisions about the distribution of BBC World Service radio around the world, as a result of the Spending Review settlement that BBC World Service received at the end of 2010.
Closure of the 648 kHz service and medium wave frequencies to Russia, continues the process of withdrawing from direct broadcasts to Europe in response to a declining number of direct listeners. The BBC World Service continues to be available in Europe by satellite, cable and online. In the UK it is available on dedicated channels across the whole of the UK on DAB, online and on all digital TV platforms. This is in addition to overnight transmissions of BBC World Service on Radio 4 frequencies.
The only thing I have noticed over the past few days is that it has been very difficult to get a connection to the BBC World service via my Internet radio or PC, is this because of the increased demand now for there online stream, who knows.
