Radio 5 nostalgia (nostalgia is the name of the music programming in the morning and afternoon, there is also science and culture in the evening) will disappear from the medium wave in a year.

Is that an official announcement from the BBC? Got a link?

I am staying on the Wirral, NW England, where they have quite a number of AM stations heard clearly day and night; Magic 1548, Flame 1521, BBC R Merseyside 1485, R Clatteridge 1386, Manx R 1368, BBC Ulster 1341, Absolute 1197, Talk Sport 1107, Dowtown 1026, BBC R5L 909, BBC R Wales 882 and 657, and BBC R4 720.

Graham, try BBC Radio Scotland 810kHz and BBC NI/Radio Ulster 1341kHz after dark, also try Manx Radio 1368kHz.
This list is good

Yes, Arrow Classic Rock was probably the last of the good MW stations but RTL on LW 234kHz is worth a listen late evenings with George Lang, spoken in French but the music is good. "W-Country" on Friday nights is very good where he plays new American country music with jingles from american radio....quite different.
