Many thanks to SWLing Post<\/em> contributor, Ga\u00e9tan Teyssonneau, who notes that Europe 1 has announced that they will close their 183 kHz longwave service on December 31, 2019 at midnight.<\/strong> Ga\u00e9tan shared the following message, in French, from Europe 1:<\/p>\n

Cher Monsieur.
\nLes habitudes d\u2019\u00e9coute \u00e9tant en train d\u2019\u00e9voluer et l\u2019utilisation des supports num\u00e9rique se multipliant, Europe 1 n\u2019\u00e9mettra plus en grandes ondes \u00e0 partir du 31 d\u00e9cembre 2019 minuit.<\/p>\n

Un choix assum\u00e9 par la station qui a toujours fait preuve d\u2019innovation dans sa mani\u00e8re de penser et concevoir l\u2019\u00e9coute de ses programmes. l\u2019approche environnementale a \u00e9galement motiv\u00e9 cette d\u00e9cision. Quitter les grandes ondes c\u2019est aussi prot\u00e9ger l\u2019environnement.<\/p>\n

Bonnes f\u00eates \u00e0 vous .<\/p>\n
