I heard BBC H&W on 738 from Worcester switch to a recorded retuning loop message at 11.07am in the middle of a Men from Down Under record. I believe 1584 from Woofferton switched to the recorded retuning message a few minutes earlier.
As the Worcester 738 transmitter only used an aerial power of 38 watts it makes you wonder how much power they are going to save.
