Radio News
Also Smooth Radio abandones the medium Waves
The Smooth Radio AM transmitters in Kent (603 and 1242) and Hampshire (1170 and 1557) will be closing at the end of April. Retune announcements are being played on the frequencies during ad breaks. (Tomtom, Digital Spy, April 6th) Post afterwards asks if anyone in the Wrexham area can monitor 1260 to see if the same announcements are being played.
