Four AM transmitters in the North turn off in April. these are all Greatest Hits Radio in Lancashire, Manchester and Leeds, plus Magic in Humberside in the UK.
Bauer to turn off four AM transmitters in the North – RadioToday:
In Lancashire, 999 kHz carries the same output as 96.5FM in Blackpool, in Manchester 1152 kHz is duplicated on 96.2FM from Oldham and GHR was added to the former Radio Aire frequency of 96.3FM last year in addition to 828 kHz.
Bauer will also switch off the Magic Radio AM (1161 kHz) in Hull. Magic replaced Greatest Hits on AM last year when KCFM (owned by Nation Broadcasting) re-branded as Greatest Hits Radio.

From https://radio-tv-nederland.nl/
“According to the information card of AT, the LPAM frequency 675 kHz has been moved from Wassenaar to Woubrugge, although they still call the place of residence Wassenaar. In the tidal river the Spui, which
separates the islands of Voorne-Putten and Hoeksche Waard, AT has issued the 828 kHz as can be seen on their map, but as residence it is listed as Melissant, which in turn is located on Goeree-Overflakkee.
Schalkhaar AM hopes to get permission soon for an LPAM frequency as can be read on their website. “
Groeistad Radio 675 kHz has been off-the-air for some weeks, at least not receivable on Leiden SDR, where it was before.
