Personally, I can see no reason why the low-power A.M. systen now operating (apparently successfully) in The Netherlands could not be given a try here.
It would work, I am sure, but I suspect the British authorities have some hidden reason for getting all broadcasting off A.M.
At least it would be real local radio, and not just have a local opt-out as most of the stations being discussed have.
It could even still earn the revenue people a few quid! "No stations" earns nothing. Tony.
