[IRCA] Beginning of the end for Absolute Radio?

2018-02-20 Thread Volodya S
Years ago, our go to station was the NRK station on 1314 kHz from Norway, indicating TA openings to the west coast. In recent years, it's been Absolute Radio on 1215. Now they want to shutter some of the transmitters and for others, reduce the power: http://www.radioworld.com/news-and-business/
