I looked for a source for this but can't find any mention of it.


"Most European countries are now running a reduced AM radio service with fewer transmitters, fewer services and lower power. Albania, Andorra, Austria, Belarus, Belgium, Croatia, Estonia, Finland, Norway (except Svalbard), Slovakia, Sweden and Switzerland have completely closed their AM radio services. Denmark retains a part-time long wave service for mariners. Lithuania has closed domestic AM radio, but retains a medium wave transmitter for international broadcasting. Only Cyprus, Hungary, Iceland and Romania (together with England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and Spain) are continuing with a comprehensive AM radio service."

This is outdated. Denmark closed its long wave transmitter last year. The biggest hold out is bbc radio 4 and they stopped special long wave programming and the service is only still on the air because it doubles as a digital signal for some power meters.
