The BBC has chosen a Bank Holiday to announce changes to the Radio 4 furniture ahead of turning off longwave transmissions in 2024.
Sailors will have to manage with fewer shipping forecasts - down from four every day, to two weekdays and three at weekends. Cricket fans will have find Test Match special on Radio 5 Sports extra, via DAB, digital tvs or BBC Sounds. Long term, Radio 4Xtra adds politics and religion to its rotation of the archive - that's where you'll find the Daily Service and the long version of Yesterday In Parliament.
When Radio LW goes, it inevitably comes off Sky, Freesat and Virgin Media. Radio 4 will lose daytime listeners in Ireland, Holland, France and Denmark - and nighttime listeners as far away as Majorca.
