BBC Medium Wave Closures

The information below is from the Frequencyfinder site. I have heard most of those at some stage. Where I am, Devon on 990 is up against a strong 5 Live signal, but I heard it faintly. Cambridge on 1026 is up against Downtown, but I did get the ID one evening.

The three NI transmitters are carrying the close down message today 06 May, will continue into June. The close down messages will make the transmitters much easier to identify than when they are carrying regular programmes.
