Gold’s 1548 kHz AM London frequency will be turned off at the end of this month by Global.

The station, which started life as Capital Radio, has been on medium wave in London since it launched in October 1973 – almost 50 years ago.

It was originally on 557 kHz (539m) before switching to its current frequency, the well known 194m, in 1975.

Global has been switching off its network of AM transmitters recently, with Peterborough/Cambridge (1332 kHz), Derby (945 kHz), Nottingham (999 kHz) and Northampton (1557 kHz) all went silent in June 2023.

From September, Gold will only have one AM frequency remaining, in Manchester on 1548.
