If the BBC is that poor why not;
-Axe BBC Radio 4 LW.
-Move BBC Radio 3 from FM to LW.
-Launch BBC 6 Music on the old BBC Radio 3 FM Channel.
-Axe all local BBC Radio Channels in England and have two Radio Channels called "BBC Radio England FM" or "BBC Radio England MW".

I would hate to see BBC 4/3 interfered with. In my eyes, there is something special about listening to TMS on LW whilst. The shipping forecast is a very important part of my cricketing experience. On many occasions, I find I actually hating myself for buying Digital radios in my flat and thus missing out on the shipping forecast when listening to TMS on digital radio. Yes, I know, I am very odd.
If the BBC want to save money, they can easily let someone else have prem highlights, and send less reporters/pundits/commentators/hosts to sporting events. Take cricket for example, TMS have many commentators and pundits at each test/odi/t20. Yet 5live will use someone else to give them an update every hour or so. BBC are already paying people to be there for TMS, surely one or two of them could speak to 5live at some point?
I have no other issues with the BBC and (other than Radio 1 and BBC 3 - they are too immature for my tastes.) I think their radio output is streets ahead of anyone else. I love their sporting output (what little they have left that is) pundits, commentators et al, but if they just stopped paying to send so many people to these things, they would save a fortune.
