BBC Radio 4 Shipping forecast and closedown 198 kHz AM 29-06-2013 2346z

Finally got a better antenna setup for listening to longwave/mediumwave. Noise levels are still not what they should be, but things are improving. Signoff @ 12:46, FSM save the queen @ 13:24

Entertainment value of this video is fair, but occasionally moderate, sometimes good.

Brilliant...

[@Nurse.Addison]

HAHAHAAHHAHAH ! Perfect

[@jamesrobert4106]

The enduring and continuing moment that will always be part of my life. I can't even swim and get seasick, but there is a serene calmness it brings. As our Great Queen has just shown. In life we are ALL simply Sailing by. RIP Ma'am. 🙏

love the way they finish with GSTQ 🇬🇧😎

The shipping forecast in early 90's was a bit slower on the reading so it gave time to process the information. Even then it would keep you on your toes. This reading I think needs two people to listen to 2 or 3 pieces of information each to retain the full regional description. Any quicker and it will collapse into complete jargon. Or perhaps I am being a bit slow.

[@chriskaprys]

I always assumed the people it was meant for would just listen for their given region, the way I tune in to weather reports that are local to where I am and basically ignore the rest.

Is there any way to listen to this in the US? Via a big ferrite antenna maybe?

[@daveporter0217]

BBC has a service called BBC Sounds (which replaced iPlayer), where you can listen to it live (at 7:48 PM), or a recording later. If you want to hear "Sailing By" with the forecast, you have to play it live.

Possibly with a really long antenna made for 198kHz. Or try MW.

Camstudio. And messing around with it for a few hours to get it to work properly

Why is the shipping forecast so popular

[@Catswhiskerdetector]

Weaponized autism would be my guess

Because people fall asleep to it.

Because we live in the 21st century and women can do the same jobs as men?

But they don't get paid as much which is why they are all resigning from the BBC after the recent public disclosure.

Funny how you never see them unblocking sewers. Or working at the coal face down a mine.

Blimey, I didn't know the Shipping Forecast was popular with the Taliban! Seriously, asking why a woman's reading it? What is wrong with you? Also have a problem with women meteorologists and sailors, perhaps?

[@phillipjones3439]

Women are everywhere now, the media is totally feminised. I can only hope there will be some sort of push back. It was a woman who removed Lilibulero from the world service.

They're half the population, why shouldn't they be everywhere?

[@张桓瑜]

@@phillipjones3439 The only reason you think there are too many women is because they were excluded from this before. It makes sense to have many female announcers, since majority communication majors are women.

Because Women's Hour is specifically aimed at women. Massive difference between one job where anyone can do it and another where the idea of the programme is supposed to be audience-specific. And, IIRC, they have had male guest presenters on that show, but nothing permanent.
