For that, all these transmissions will turn off:
657 kHz from Pisa Coltano

It says that the last day of audio discription on mediumwave is the 10 September 2022 and it will not available from 11 September 2022 on. So I guess the closure will be at 10 September 2022 around midnight local time, when most of the transmitters start their nighttime break at the moment.
