Plus it isn't just at Droitwich that R4 long wave is closing down, it is Burghead and Westerglen as well.

Why not replace the power hungry & worn out old TX, with a smaller - say 50kw solid state TX, with many now redundant, potential scrap - they would cover much of the existing area, be it meters or Audio listeners - it's a really wonderful aerial system at Droitwich.
I suspect the real truth in all this, is the TX site is earmarked for a huge housing estate - handy for Birmingham & by the M5
