Long Wave radio era set to end with Droitwich switch-off
Summary
The BBC reports that the Long Wave service from the Droitwich transmitting station is being switched off, ending a 92-year era. The two 700-foot Wychbold masts, built in 1934 and notable for WWII roles, are at risk of loss as legacy infrastructure declines; heritage groups advocate for listing, and there are discussions of turning the site into a museum as open days and exhibitions preserve its history. The article also notes that Historic England considered listing but did not meet criteria due to demolition of original structures.
