    ...just before the 8am pips today.

    The message goes on to say that the service is terminating on 27th June,
    and give information on all the other ways we can receive the station.

    Probably largest listening figures that Radio 4 Long Wave has had for
    years as people try to remember how to hear it, so they can hear the
    message about it closing! :-)

    That's why I dusted off my LW radio. It sounds like the programmes will continue until the 27th (early morning), rather than have a dead carrier (which might continue after the 27th, though I don't know why).
