UK Free TV shows the coverage area for a radio transmitter as a coloured overlay (orange for FM, other colours for DAB) on the grey map. We have computed the coverage by combining the terrain with the official radiation pattern. A single click will select the transmitter to view the coverage for a single site, and a double click goes to a page showing full details. Click on the buttons in the right-hand corner of the map to choose from different frequencies (or multiplexes for DAB).
This transmitter has no current reported problems
The BBC and Digital UK report there are no faults or engineering work on the Saffron Green (Greater London, England) transmitter.

John Lloyd: You might wish to research whether there are future plans for DAB to displace 1548kHz. The
discontinuation of medium-wave broadcasting will affect many who listen to more distant transmitters.

Gentlemen,
With regard to the Duxhurst, Surrey, analogue radio transmitter site, are you able to say when the Gold Radio service on 1521 kHz was taken off-air? Would appreciate the knowledge. Gold Radio website still lists it (list dated Sept 2012), but recent monitoring suggests it has closed.
Regards+

I live in southern France in a place called Saint Cere. For my job i spend time and travel from customer to customer in my car. The winter reception of Gold London 1548 is from poor to excellent. In the summer reception is more stable but only after sunset. Keep Analogue AM. Keep Uk AM stations !

It has been reported that sales of analogue vinyl records has increased by 18% in the last few months. So not everyone likes digital signals and more and more are coming to realise that analogue still has something to offer.
In technocal terms, analogue is more accurate than digital - but both suffer from intereference problems, though in different ways.
It has become very clear that reception of digitally encoded signals, such as Freeview or DAB, have inherent problems and may not be a complete solution.
Therefore it is vital that we retain AM and FM broadcasts.
(I am given to understand by a friend working in the aircraft industry that though many communications use digital encoding, the emergency systems are all analogue as reception is apparently more reliable, especially with high speed [military] aircraft!)
Personally I prefer the tonal qualities available with analogue, digital suffers from the Nyquist limitations.

You are very lucky to be able to receive a Medium Wave transmission from the London area all the way across the continent in Prague. Such transmissions are not intended to be reliably receivable that far away, so fading, etc is to be expected.
