That’d be the longwave broadcast that our emergency training at work last year told us is *the* national emergency channel. And which unlike all the alternatives can actually be picked up by mariners way out at sea. And that I listen to whenever I have the car radio on.
Remember how when Russia invaded Ukraine the BBC increased its shortwave provision in that part of Europe because these “legacy” forms are more reliable and resilient in adverse conditions?
This is up there with making it so that telephones only work if the electricity grid is on. FFS.

Say it with me: bastards.

Interesting sounding programme on Radio 4 right now - about whether going to university is worth it or not. Check it out on 198 longwave (or more likely catch up on iPlayer Radio I guess)
