Default Re: Medium Wave Transmitter Closures.

If Ofcom don't have any takers for licences for that band, then they don't have a case they can use in arguing to retain the channels. So they will go to any country's agency that has someone interested. They can't deny channels to someone who would use them, just to keep them empty for someone who won't use them.

Maybe our government could put in a bid to use them for some sort of public service? If so it's in the hands of Ofcom, and they'll want to see a source of income to pay for their management. Our government seems to be a bit busy at the moment.

The best we can hope for is that it doesn't wind up in the hands of some service that could get stroppy about what's in your pantry.
