- BBC Radio 5 is medium wave only. It was set up to be for kids,
- and therefore on a frequency cheap tranny's could get. Only 1 frequency
- because the government is trying to stop the beeb from using multiple
- frequencies for the same transmission. It has rapidly been taken over
- as a sports frequency on the quiet, as far as I can see - most times
- I look to see if there's anything interesting on, it's commentary
- on some footie match/cricket match/rugby match/ blecch. I suppose
- some kids will like that.
