More LF spectrum for amateur radio?

There is a very interesting piece on John EI7GL's blog about the demise of BBC Radio 4 on 198kHz long wave. 

Gradually, long wave AM broadcast stations are going. There are now very few radios covering LW broadcast bands. The present date for switch-off could be June 2025.

With so much LW spectrum becoming free, I wonder if amateur radio could get any?

BBC Radio 4 on Longwave

From Steve G1KQH today:

"End of BBC on the LW?

Of course if they let this go, what will  the crystal set builder have to listen to?

Build another Solid State transmitter that is the answer..
