Global is removing LBC News from 1152 kHz AM in London.
Audio running on the frequency says the service will cease on mediumwave at the end of October, advising listeners to retune to DAB or online.
The promo says: “From later this month the way you listen to LBC News might change. From the end of October LBC News will no longer be available on AM radio across London.
“To continue listening in this area you might need to retune your radio. You can keep listening on DAB digital radio, on Global Player, or by asking your smart speaker to play LBC News.”
LBC News has been broadcasting under various names on 1152 kHz, and will continue on national DAB via Digital One.
Global, Bauer and the BBC have all turned off multiple AM transmitters over the last decade, as listening moves to digital platforms.
