An odd announcement for the simple reason they optedfor more terrestrial radio transmission earlier this year into Eastern Euroe.

https://news.yahoo.com/bbc-axe-1-000-jobs-155422103.html
Tecsun H501x (broadcast received on this unless noted), Zenith T/O G500, Zenith T/O Royal 7000, Emerson AR-176, Zenith 8S154, T/O 7G605 (Bomber), Tecsun PL-600, Tecsun PL-880, Zenith 5S320, Realistic DX 160 using 40 feet of copper wire.  With apologies to Senator Gramm for his thoughts on firearms, "I have more radios than I need but not as many as I want."
QTH:  Durham, Connecticut (rural setting, 15 miles north of Long Island Sound)

An AM radio Boombox DXer.

The usual Realistic culprits on SW (and a Panasonic).
