How far out of the UK does Radio 5 Live reach? I presume it can be received well in Ireland and northern France?

Also, I wonder what percentage of 5 Live's audience listens on MW. I presume the proportion of listening on MW is continually falling. I guess that the occasional conversation takes place as to when would be the right time to think about switching off 5 Live in MW, like they are doing with BBC Local Radio.

That said, i would imagine that Absolute Radio, TalkSPORT and the other commercial stations would disappear from MW well before 5 Live does.
