Dear all,
The fantastic energy-efficiency of longwave radio is highlighted in our latest article for Keep Longwave.
There, we share a new analysis showing that longwave requires just one sixth the power output of FM to achieve greater nationwide coverage. This casts doubt on the BBC's claim that longwave is 'energy intensive'.
Please help us to stop the closure of longwave, and continue to share and promote the petition!
Thank you for your support,
Tobias
