I suppose it is too obvious to point out that if you cut frequencies your listeners on short wave will decline...

   Why is BBC World Service reducing its short wave provision?
   Short wave listening around the world is declining.
   The downward trend is accelerating: the global short wave audience for
   BBC World Service has dropped from 122 million in 1996 to 97 million
   in 2003.
   Like other international broadcasters, BBC World Service has been
   adjusting its short wave provisions in line with global demand
   changes.
   Alternative ways to listen
   At the same time BBC World Service has been investing in new delivery
   methods, all with the improved audibility now preferred by audiences,
   such as FM, cable, satellite and online.
   BBC World Service is committed to making the best use of the money it
   receives from the government and has had considerable success in
   attracting audiences to these new methods of delivery; more than 50
   million are using these and the numbers are growing fast.
   Separately, online usage has grown from three million page impressions
   every month in late 1998 to almost 300 million by 2004, which is
   equivalent to 18 million unique users.
   Alongside in-depth news and information, programmes are available
   streamed both live and on demand at the convenience of the listener.
   There are now more ways to listen to BBC World Service broadcasts than
   ever before. To check for availability in your region please click
