In the last week I have been recording the broadcast radio stations that I have listened to as part of an IPSOS survey. Mostly it is BBC Radio 4 around breakfast time.
OFCOM is consulting on the future of radio broadcasting in the UK. According to them AM broadcast listeners have been declining. I am not sure if this is true or as a result of more people listening to traditional broadcasts via smart speakers and DAB. Yours truly is as guilty as the rest!
If traditional AM broadcasts are declining this is a pity as many first came across radio by building simple Medium Wave receivers. My first introduction to amateur radio was hearing some locals on 160m AM. To many, radio was magic whereas nowadays we take it for granted.
