U.K. station announces end to medium-wave broadcasts later this month
“We’re saying good-bye to AM.” That’s the short and sweet message from Absolute Radio to listeners.
The U.K. station, owned by Bauer Media, announced that on January 23, 2023, it would turn off its medium-wave frequencies across the United Kingdom in favor of DAB, online streaming, and other digital platforms. Several of Bauer’s Greatest Hits Radio AM signals will also go dark at the same time.
In its message to listeners, Absolute stated that its signals “sound better on digital, as it offers a much stronger signal and cuts out background noise.” The station also noted that nearly all of its audience currently tuns to the station via a digital platform.
