Not surprised at transmitter shutdowns, I don't know anyone in person that listens to a "radio" these days, I haven't done so for some years now, everything's been changing fast when it comes to broadcasting, the technology that's brought about the change is something we've all been a party to one way or another, if i did want to listen to a "radio broadcast" I'd just Google it and listen on my PC, job done, TV's going the same way, the other day there was a new (new to me) series on BBC, I watched the first episode on the TV and after it finished I discovered that the following episodes could be watched on my PC....no waiting....brill....like a full length movie.
