[Rpt] RTÉ 252LW off air temporarily
rte say no one /very few complain or notice when their AM services are off air. perhaps those that do notice have no faith in reporting it to RTE! I have to add that MW 2nd helpings closed today and will not be split on LW with FM/DAB/SAT - it will be on RTE Choice in 4 cities (if you can get it) otherwise it said goodbye today.

RTE are still testing 252LW with Digital Radio Mondiale (DRM) signal beyond the end of publicly stated tests. They tested up to 6am on Saturday the 8th September and stopped leaving a silent carrier until 12:09 pm (6 hours later) when the 252LW tx was switched off. It returned two minutes later with RTE Radio 1 programming midway through the MF Sunday Show. This i live blogged in my micro blog on twitter. [1] [2]

Does this mean that we don’t have to listen to mass on LW, or will it be on the FM service.

Guess which other station didn’t bother airing ‘Second Helpings’ over the weekend?
Why yes, it was RTE Choice, since you ask. It was cancelled Saturday and simply failed to appear Sunday; instead Choice just relayed the sport. It was simulcast on R1FM, R1LW, R1 Digital, R1 Extra Digital, *and* RTE Choice.
