Quoting a previous Alex Jenkins contribution:-

Following the acquisition of an FM network in Holland, Arrow will
probably cease transmissions on 675 kHz in August. Arrow is hoping to
gain access to the FM network by early July and then a period a
simulcasting to advise 675 AM listeners to retune to FM.

Now then. Now then. Isn't that a good thing? I mean if it's only anoraks that are tuning to AM, whilst the general public are tuning to FM, then surely they want and need to be on the platform normal people listen to? Their lack of audience is down to one of two things, really. Either a) people aren't happy with the waveband, or b) people aren't happy with the programming. If they move up to FM and still nobody is listening, then surely that proves it was the programming. If people do start to listen, then it proves it was the waveband.

Meanwhile, Chris Carey has expressed an interest on the 675 AM
frequency, which he states on his own message board he is "on the case".

Good luck to him. Sadly, I suspect he's wasting his time. I don't imagine he has an innovative and modern concept for programming that's going to pull a new and radical audience. And oldies music only stations are ten a penny and not really making RAJAR in an exciting way these days.
