Me too - but I fear its days are numbered. I still think LW produces a better tone than digital, but I've only got one device left now which does LW - and it must be 30 years old and is on its last legs.
Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊

This, my car is only 5 years old but I can't get Radio 4 Longwave in my car, nor any digital stations. Up my allotment I keep an old transistor radio that is a good 40 years old that picks up Radio 4 Longwave, thank God !

It has been on LW since 1994 and more recently Digital with the reduction in LW consumption. They are giving options and I would think that the majority of new cars receive digital. Did you have the same issues when analog TV signal was switched off?
Where do you want them to put it? 5 live is not the place to put something that is possibly 7 hours a day for 5 days running, it's not in the mandate of the station especially when it could be finished in 3/4 days then they have a real scheduling nightmare

Finally thanks for Joel Wilson and his Stevie wonder eyesight

Yeah the previous review pitching outside leg stump was ridiculous, and cost Australia an equally dramatic win.

And, you get to hear the shipping forecast every hour. You just can’t beat that.
Highlights on Channel 5 at 1900.
I upgraded the radio on my last car to a DAB primarily so I could listen to TMS.......it also meant I didn’t get the MW interference/poor reception any longer either so football on 5 and TS was much better. Well worth the money.

Unless you live in Hailsham. Signal drops out 7 times between home and work - once per mile.

We tend to get the dramatic wins over the Aussies don't we? Wasn't there a test back in the 70s/80s when they needed 4 to win with one wicket left, Geoff Thompson I think, Beefy came on to bowl and rattled him out.

Melbourne 1982.
Only got a couple around here....on the A23 around Pyecombe, and a bit of the A27 near Lewes. Otherwise pretty good (I’ve got one at home as well that works well). I guess they’ll continue to improve the coverage

You're watching Bob Willis and Alec Stewart
I saw both innings. Botham came in with us 95 behind and three wickets remaining to avoid an innings defeat.
Botham didn't think about putting England in a winning position. He just threw the bat.
Stokes believed he could guide England to victory and took the whole thing on his shoulders.
Absolutely. Also anyone with a mobile phone could listen to it. I think you are posting against Ben’s Grandad in disguise.

For 39 years, you have a far better memory than me. Your explanation however is uncanny to what Willis just said on Sky.
