BBC ends shortwave service in Europe
BBC World Service shut down its remaining shortwave transmissions to Europe
today. The current closures affect the remaining transmissions heard in
southern Europe.
The broadcaster, on its website, said the change was made in line with
listener trends in radio.
Increasing numbers of people around the world are choosing to listen to radio
on a range of other platforms including FM, satellite and online, with fewer
listening on shortwave.
This is particularly the case in Europe, where the majority of shortwave
transmissions ceased in March 2007.
The BBC admitted that this was a loss to some listeners, but said there were
alternative ways of hearing its programmes.
