According to announcements on BBC Radio Newcastle today the shutdown of the medium wave transmitter is almost imminent. Listeners are advised to use the local FM service or alternatively Freeview, Youview or Sky.
When it happens that'll be the second local MW transmitter to close down.
Last year Hospital station Radio Tyneside on 1575Khz moved to FM on
93.6Mhz wedged between two BBC R4 transmitters.
