End of era as #BBC switches off #Radio4 #LongWave service
First BBC Long Wave transmissions in the mid-1920s were on 1600m or 187.5 kHz.
A famous BBC programme tied to Long Wave is #ShippingForecast, a weather bulletin for deep-sea fishermen which became cult listening on land and now features on FM and digital, and there’s even a probably-apocryphal tale that nuclear submarine captains would once use its presence or absence to judge whether nuclear war had occurred.

Vernon Kay makes true feelings clear on 'disappointing' BBC show decision

I like listening to the shipping forecast. I just don’t like being awake to do so.
At least it isn’t the early edition today. -

As darkness falls, the general cargo vessel 'Cellus' pictured being accompanied by the Port Of Sunderland pilot as it sets a course out into the stormy waters of the North Sea.
If you are a seafarer, you are likely to pay heed to the daily shipping forecasts giving advance warnings of sea conditions.
Learned recently that this year the Shipping Forecast, as broadcast daily on BBC radio, is celebrating the centenary of the very first transmission.
The daily recitation of sea conditions to be expected in the enigmatically-named sea areas has developed something of a cult following.
The nightly script, which some say is akin to poetry, has its very own musical prelude, namely 'Sailing By', composed by Ronal Binge.
At just after 12.45am on BBC Radio Four, the broadcast delivers a forecast for 31 marine areas, followed by inshore coastal weather forecasts and current reports from coastal weather stations all around the UK.

My paintings #AttentionAllShipping & #SailingBy capture a little of that magic, the #poetry of weather, sea & sound.

As someone who during two longer stays in the UK listened to the Shipping Forecast every morning for months at a time (by virtue of host family members needing it for their jobs), this is just full of memories and oddity.

I'm one of those people who will listen to the #bbc #ShippingForecast without really caring about the weather at sea. It's just a reassuring thing to listen to for some odd reason I came across this map today and it's the first time I've seen exactly where all the areas are It's taken to age 61 😀
