All remaining BBC World Service shortwave transmissions * to Europe closed on 18th February 2008.

This has been a loss to some listeners, but there are alternative ways of hearing BBC programmes.

This change is being made in line with listener trends in radio. Increasing numbers of people around the world are choosing to listen to radio on a range of other platforms.
