HUNDREDS more people will be able to hear BBC Hereford & Worcester loud and clear from next week.
In the past, some listeners have been unable to tune into their local radio station.
But a new medium wave transmitter, at Woofferton, five miles south of Ludlow, donated by BBC Radio Shropshire, means all this is about to change.
"It's going to make a big difference, especially in times of emergency, such as flooding, when up-to-the-minute advice and information is on the station," said James Coghill, BBC Hereford & Worcester managing editor.
Countryside
"And now that BBC Hereford & Worcester can be heard properly in the area, we're going to be doing more stories about Tenbury Wells and the surrounding countryside, starting with a special series about the town on our breakfast show on Monday."
Residents on the edge of the two counties should be able to tune in on 1584 medium wave from Monday, March 31.
"My advice is to tune in on FM first - 104, 104.6 or 94.6," said Mr Coghill. "You could also test 738 medium wave, then if none of those work for you, try 1584 medium wave."
