I noticed 2GN Goulburn was on air tonight with the loop message. Reception was quite strong on my Hyundai i30 car radio at Sawtell NSW. There was a storm off the coast so there is occasional static interference.

CRC Media West’s Sports “Team 1010” KXPS/102.7 K274DA Thousand Palms CA is promoting a “change is coming” on Wednesday, June 1.
KXPS’s website features a countdown clock to June 1 that features a logo icon similar to the one used by co-owned “1580 The Fanatic” KQFN Tempe/Phoenix. On-air promos also indicate that the 1010 signal will be “going away” on that date and to keep listening on the FM. KXPS currently airs a mix of programming from the Fox Sports radio, CBS Sports Radio, and VSiN networks.
CRC Media West also owns Oldies “Studio 100.9” 1200 KPSF/100.9 K265FH Cathedral City in the Palm Springs market. KPSF is operated by Mark Westwood’s Westmark LLC via LMA.

BBC Radio 5 Live to close AM transmitters & Radio 4 to cease Long Wave service.

The BBC is planning to make £500m of annual savings in a digital-first future by cutting services such as Radio 4 Extra, Radio 4’s Long Wave service and Radio 5 Live’s mediumwave transmitter network.
Changes in local radio and regional news will also be made, with more programme sharing between neighbouring stations.
The BBC will look at simplifying schedules and cancelling shows that do not deliver, including networked shows.
A BBC spokesperson told RadioToday: “We will build on local radio’s strengths by focussing our resources where we make the biggest difference with audiences.
“It makes sense to share some programmes at times of the day when we have the least audience impact. We will maintain local news bulletins throughout the day and protect live sport.”
BBC Director-General Tim Davie made the announcements in an all-staff meeting on Thursday afternoon, setting out a new blueprint for a digital-first BBC.
He said the BBC must reform to stay relevant and continue to provide great value for all.
One thousand jobs will also go across the board as part of the cuts.
Tim Davie told staff: “When I took this job I said that we needed to fight for something important: public service content and services, freely available universally, for the good of all.
“This fight is intensifying, the stakes are high.”

The official text of his remarks makes no mention of a specific date for closing LW.
Here’s what it says:
“We do plan to stop scheduling separate content for Radio 4 Long Wave, consulting with partners, including the Maritime and Coastguard Agency, ahead of the closure of the Long Wave platform itself. 5Live on Medium Wave will also close no later than December 2027, in line with a proposed industry-wide exit from the platform.”
