Oneword to close on Monday

Oneword will cease broadcasting on all platforms, including Freeview, on Monday 14. The station has been broadcasting a loop of repeats since late last year after its owners withdrew funding from the project. The station, once seen as the commercial rival to BBC Radio 4 and BBC 7, simply couldn’t compete against the Beeb’s better resources. Meanwhile, on DAB, Core, the radio station once seen as the commercial rival to BBC Radio 1, has confirmed that it will close tomorrow, Friday 11.
