Re.: https://mediumwave.info/2023/01/25/italy-71/
It is true, “Radio Z100 Milano” is inexplicably one channel higher on 1215 kHz. Even if “Absolut Radio” from the United Kingdom is gradually leaving this frequency, this is not really understandable because the 1206 kHz is actually largely free.
By the way, the live stream of “Radio Z100 Milano” on the Internet can be used for identification, which confirms the compliant broadcast over medium wave. Because “Radio Z100 Milano” plays soul and dance music non-stop without any announcements, such as naming the program name.
But “Radio Z100 Milano” cannot be received/listened to via the platform used by most Internet radio stations, but only via a link in the live stream on the regular Internet.

Apart from the Lydd transmitter on 1260, I’m still picking up Absolute Radio on 1197 KHz from somewhere in the northeast of England, as well as on 1215 KHz from somewhere in the north or centre of England, via various SDRs, as of 1500 UTC.

Listening to various internet KiwiSDR sites around the UK, it seems that Absolute 1215 KHz transmitters was switched off this morning.
Also, Greatest Hits from Vicars Lots on 1530 KHz has been switched off. The MF band it getting very quiet now.
Mark to tx-list iog (2023-01-25)
Further to the post from Mark. He is incorrect. I cannot tell re the Nottingham or Lisnagarvey sites. I can monitor Lydd. The tape is still running at 1452UTC. The chat room on Digital spy refers to the above being the only ones left to turn off.

Radio Seagull
Local DX’ers confirm signal still is coming from Pietersbierum. The station apparently told in a Facebook group they have audio source problems and hope it will be solved by February 2nd. So the current listing in MW List is correct.
Julius Hermans to mwcircle iog (2023-01-24)
The format they use is different from the Radio Seagull format. May be Radio Emmeloord is the source?
Rein Faber to mwcircle iog (2023-01-24)
It seems Absolute Radio are only running a few low power transmitters now on 1215 kHz. The information loop is at times drowned by non stop soul music, which I suspect is Z-100 in Milano moving one channel up from 1206 kHz, which is empty at the moment.
