Yes the delights of the Shipping Forecast, interspersed by bouts of Test Match Cricket, the Archers and Thought for the Day. Radio doesn't get any better.
LW can travel 11,000 miles so it must confuse many foreigners, who think we're bonkers ( and they're right !)

I think you are right - Radio 4 will continue to broadcast on long wave until the teleswitching service no longer uses the long wave signal.

Re: AM Radio fading into history
Happy memories of listening, on long wave, to the test match in Australia whilst in bed in the early hours. The results don’t bring very happy memories though ��

Until every fishing boat has satellite receivers the R4 LW frequency (198 Khz) gets the shipping forecast out where it's needed.

The majority of the info on R4 is already available via coastguard channels:
