There was a suggestion somewhere on the Internet (cannot remember
where) that there might be a change of mind. *Anyone know?

How much money is the BBC actually saving? *It seems to me a fairly
poor sense of priority to withdraw the World Service from a large
chuck of Europe when we are as a nation presumably trying to make
friends, influence people and promote British values.

Or is the argument that if the BBC is to be funded by the licence
payer only the (UK) licence payer really counts.

Having said all that I see a lot of AM stations are closing so is it
genuinely the case that very few people listen on AM radio with
enthusiasts now using the Internet? *Obviously that would help people
in cars though.

Any ideas what will happen to 648 KHz? *I have seen the speculation.
