It's the end of a broadcasting era.

Time for a long wave goodbye, Radio 4 LW 198 is live here, until it stops by 01:00 https://t.co/oUOUQtla0h

I don’t seem to have my own long wave radio these days. Atlantic 252 was a massive LW station in the 90s, a client of radio news agency Network News.

A sad day for radio folks: Join this livestream as we mark the end of BBC Radio 4’s historic Long Wave service on 198 kHz. After decades of broadcasting across the UK and beyond, the Long Wave signal is set to close on 27 June 2026, with reports noting the final shutdown time as 00:00 UTC.

This stream captures the final moments of Radio 4 LW, including any closing announcements, signal changes, and the end of transmissions from the long running 198 kHz service.

So incredibly sad that Radio 4 Long Wave closes down forever in a few hours’ time. I’ll really miss that imperfect sound that’s so nostalgic for all us of a certain age. I’m planning to digitally record the final hour (esp. Sailing by & Shipping forecast): https://t.co/Xfmt9eOAau

And so farewell to these two. In operation at Droitwich since 1930 conveying BBC services, for many years @BBCRadio2 and then @BBCRadio4 on 1500m Long Wave. They stop radiating to the nation after a final shipping forecast at 1am tonight. “Wherever you’re listening, Goodnight.”

A service that was used to get information to the Resistance in WWII is to end it life this weekend.
BBC Radio 4 broadcasts on Long Wave will end on 27 June 2026, ahead of the Long Wave platform closing on 30 June 2026. We thank it for its service #jantelensky

For the anoraks amongst us, it's a historical night tonight. BBC Radio 4's Long Wave transmitter is closing down tonight.
It's been running ever since 1934.

If it's your kind of thing, then tune into BBC Radio 4 at just before 1am for the final closedown.

[Andy Walmsley @Radiojottings]

On the day before the closure of BBC Radio 4 on long wave, a reminder that the last programme on Radio 2 long wave in November 1978 was Round Midnight with Brian Matthew. Announcer is James Alexander Gordon

At 1am on 27 June 2026, BBC Radio 4 Long Wave falls silent after 101 years on 198 kHz. From Sailing By to the Shipping Forecast, a distinctive broadcasting era quietly ends. https://t.co/xfyFO8ble0

30 years ago today, the BBC used Walkaway for the final montage as England bowed out of Euro 96 on penalties to Germany.
