Mike can you please provide a source for this information? I have checked four significant and reliable sources and can't find anything to support your statement.
1. https://www.ofcom.org.uk/news-centre/2024/what-is-the-media-bill-and-what-does-it-mean-for-ofcom
2. https://www.gov.uk/government/news/media-bill-to-maximise-potential-of-british-tv-and-radio
3. The response from ofcom to this FOI request from May 2023 makes no mention of your interpretation of the future of MW https://www.ofcom.org.uk/__data/assets/pdf_file/0029/262289/FOI-1594906-Use-of-the-medium-wave-and-long-wave-bands.pdf
4. Skimming through the Media Bill itself ( https://bills.parliament.uk/publications/54083/documents/4384 ) Part 5 Para 41 is about Licensing of analogue radio services. I can't see anything about medium wave band being split.
Once again, can you please tell me the source of your information about MW being split into 3 bands?
Thanks,
Tom
