The BBC has officially ended its popular longwave radio broadcast, bringing down a century-long historical media service.

The service is one of the leading means of transmitting news, programmes and messages across the UK, particularly in the remote and rural areas on which it was mainly relied upon.

In details, the radio broadcast was permanently halted at 1 a.m., immediately after the British national anthem was played.

This step came to record an influential symbolic character that reflects the end of a golden and important phase in the history of media and radio in Britain and the world.

The Authority's long-wave broadcasting began in 1925, before universal coverage expanded across the United Kingdom with the launch of Droitwich in 1934, becoming one of the country's most important and largest radio broadcasting stations.

Weather Bulletins and Rural Services

For decades, the BBC has relied on this classic technique to broadcast popular daily newscasts, drama shows, and radio shows.

The broadcast also included weather bulletins and services for residents of remote areas to help them follow events. With the discontinuation of this service, the last longwave radio station in the whole of the UK officially ends.

During World War II, the Long Wave played a prominent military and intelligence role that went beyond its media and professional limits, as it was effectively used to send encrypted and secret messages to the French resistance to prepare to face Nazi forces.

The same technology contributed to the support and coordination of the famous D-Day Landing Day, giving the station and the transmitter a unique historical and strategic place in the British and European consciousness>

With the rapid technological development, the technical departments announced that the BBC's Radio 4 will continue to provide its programming and news content uninterrupted through traditional FM waves and modern digital broadcasting (DAB), in addition to full reliance on electronic platforms, digital applications and modern broadcasting services available to the public, keeping pace with the requirements of the new digital age and ending the era of long waves that have lasted for 101 years.
