Default Radio 4 Long Wave off air

I hope this is the right place for this thread.
I came home yesterday from a few days working away to find a pile of "broken" radios left for me to fix from around the house. One might be accidental, two would be careless but three was beyond coincidence!
The Radio 4 Long Wave transmitter seems to have been up and down for the last day or so and is currently definitely down. From the BBC web site:

LW Radio
Your local transmitters are...
Transmitter Channel Effect When
Droitwich Radio 4 LF Off Air from 10:12 today
Droitwich Radio 4 LF Weak Signal from 06:26 on 12 Apr to 10:13 on 12 Apr
Droitwich Radio 4 LF Weak Signal from 00:06 today to 01:25 today
and there are issues on 1 of them.

Does anyone know any more about this - or if its time to build a pantry transmitter!?
