This is indeed disappointing. I met Allen Graham a few years ago
while he was briefly on leave here in the US. Great guy, sorry to
hear his show being cancelled but I guess it was inevitable with the
SWL hobby being in apparent decline.

Seems to be a painful spiral, too... First, you have a bit fewer
listeners in the developed countries. So the broadcasters cut back on
feeds to those areas. Less to listen to, so fewer listeners, and so
on. sigh
