Bauer Media is set to switch off another bunch of AM transmitters, most of which currently broadcast its Greatest Hits Radio service.
Both of the big UK commercial audio companies - Bauer and Global - as well as the BBC have been slowly reducing the number of AM transmitters that they operate, taking stations off good old fashioned medium wave.
According to Radio Today, AM broadcasts of GHR in Scotland and parts of North England are currently airing hourly messages telling listeners that they will need to retune in order to continue listening to the station. The AM transmissions are set to cease at the end of the year.
The move affects GHR services in Yorkshire and the North East - where local stations became part of the GHR network when it launched in 2019 - and also Scotland - where local AM stations only rebranded as GHR earlier this year.
In some of the affected regions GHR is also available on FM, while in other places listeners will need to switch to the DAB digital radio network.
Bauer is also switching off the AM transmitter used by its Downtown Radio service in Belfast.
