The gradual death of AM radio takes with it a curious part of Britain’s psyche

Media — Society

Illustration of a night-time scene. A radio transmitter sits on a hilltop, next to a clock tower displaying the time 12:15. A red star is in the sky, and a blue boat is sailing on the sea.

1215 AM. Not quarter past midnight, but a radio frequency familiar to generations (although perhaps not any of the younger ones). Today it has stopped broadcasting. As AM radio slowly disappears, a bit of British folklore goes with it.
