Default Re: RTE 1 252kHz to go off air for maintenance

RTÉ are putting resources into LW at the expense of DAB. Found on mediumwave.info:

Quote:
RTÉ is going to spend €250,000 per year transmitting its Radio One station to the Irish diaspora in Britain – while closing down all its digital stations.
The station is shutting down RTÉ Gold, RTE Junior, RTÉ 2XM, RTÉ Pulse and RTÉ Radio 1 Extra, but would not specify how much this will save.
However, it has confirmed that it is going to continue its Longwave radio service [252 kHz] to the Irish diaspora in Britain up to 2022.
