We are do to go to Brittany for our summer holiday. I would like to be able to catch the news rather then pay for an expensive newspaper. What sort of radio would I need?

BBC World Service?
Using Saint-Malo as a city, it appears to broadcast on AM 198.

I found that out via this page.

Is you are in Eastern Brittany, you should be able to pick up Radio 5 Live on medium wave as well.

I imagine you'd be able to pick up R4 on 198kHz LW in Brittany as well. Although for the next few weeks, that will mean a lot of cricket between 11 and 6:30.

On the subject of LW, does anyone remember Atlantic 252?  That could be picked up in Brittany back in the day.  I feel this thread could grow...

I remember Atlantic 252!! The reason I asked about radio signals in france is that I don't want to drag a satelite system over as I want to get away from TV, but I do like to hear that "English" This is the BBC News at 6:00pm and then the bong of good old big ben!! It would be the only thing I would miss if I left England....but that is another thread!! Thanks to all for your help

Andrew

198 LW is Radio 4 you need never miss the goings on in Ambridge again.

648 AM is normally the world service.

You can normally pick up english AM stations in most places, if not take your beloved for a picnic on the top of a steep hill, you will definatly get a signal then.

It does give that info on the website but and I could be wrong (it has happened before) I think they made a mistake as I don't think such frequency exists, I thought AM started around the 500 mark.

Just checked and AM ranges from 535-1700khz.

Just for a different angle: I'm off to the Vendee in August and currently looking into buying a PAYG Sim over there. If I do, then radio will be over the net.

Atlantic 252 died years ago, though it did re launch as a talk/sport station for a while.  It was silent the last time I tried to listen.

It is still there but I think it is an Irish station now.

I was coming up around the Karlsruhe area and decided to see what I could find on the radio and ended up listening to Capital Gold on AM.
