Next year will likely see the cessation of Radio 4 on long wave and the remaining BBC Local MW outlets are likely to go very soon, leaving only TalkSPORT and Radio 5 Live on AM.
I do find it surprising that Ofcom chooses not to re-advertise any of these frequencies. AM radio is continuing in America so why let it die in the UK?

Because the USA is a huge country, with lots of open spaces which can be better served by AM, whilst (most of) the U.K. can be covered by FM/DAB.
