It will be interesting to see how much longer Radio 5 Live continues on MW with one suggested date being 2027. Same with BBC Local and national Radio on MW.

Radio 5 live is likely to be the last to close owing to it having no FM outlet as the other BBC nationals have. I am surprised that the BBC have not done the obvious & made Radio 1 a digital only service, then given the frequencies to 5 Live. Radio 1 is after all a youth oriented station & most of their audience probably listen on their phones anyway.
