Medium and Long Wave radio are dying out across the UK. In today's instalment we visit the mammoth Droitwich Transmitting Station in the West Midlands for a closer look.

Radio 4 transmits a half million watt or 500kw signal from here on a wire antenna reaching most of the UK.

What are your thoughts? Do you listen to AM radio? Is it still relevant? Let me know.
