198LW Txes Run Down…

Closure date for BBC Radio 4 longwave on 198 kHz will be 26 September 2026 Arqiva staff have been informed. It’s not yet known
if the transmitters will remain on air for the Radio Teleswitch Service after this date, or if that will end at the same time.

(re British DX Club “Communication” magazine August).

So in 13 months time. But could stay on air without R4 programming after this (as Allouis 162 kHz has)?
