I was just tuning through the Medium wave band as I do from time to time and noticed that BBC Five live is now a much weaker signal on 909 KHZ from Brookmans park at my location in North Essex. This could well be intentional ahead of closedown. Although fairly meaningless technically, it's around 2 'S' points down on my receiver's signal strength meter which could indicated around half the previous power as it used to be the strongest signal on the dial at full signal deflection at my location. Brookmans park is listed as being 200 Kw so maybe now 100KW? Maybe somebody else could confirm and maybe somebody in the north of England could check Moorside edge to see if that has been reduced as well which might confirm a planned power reduction of the main sites just out of interest.
