They really should’ve gone to SpecSavers, shouldn’t they!

A black logo on a very dark grey background. When did this ever seem like a good idea?

2024: as yet unnamed extensions of BBC Radio 1, 2 and 3 to be made available on BBC Sounds.

The stations would be made available on DAB+ in 2025 subject to regulatory approval.

2024: BBC Radio 4 Extra to go online-only?

The BBC has provided no further update on this since the original announcement in 2022.

With BBC Radio 4 LW content moving to BBC Radio 4 Extra, and the BBC now planning to launch additional stations on DAB+, moving BBC Radio 4 Extra away from broadcast seems unlikely in the short-term.

30th June 2025: some energy customers still rely on the Radio Teleswitching Service (RTS) that's radiated from BBC Radio 4 LW transmitters. RTS is expected to cease on 30th June 2025.

BBC Radio 4 LW transmissions are expected to cease in parallel with the switch-off of RTS.

2025: BBC Four and CBBC go online-only?

There's been no further official comment on this from the BBC since its original announcement in 2022.
