True, but I didn't think countries would just have one channel in 
their national service.  (Sweden, for example, only seems to have the one 
MW transmitter.)  Did the national broadcasters only have national news in 
the days before FM, or were there regional branches of the state 
broadcasters that have since moved from MW to the FM band?  I can't 
imagine Sweden having just the national service, without a station in 
Stockholm doing Stockholm-area news; a station on Gotland giving the news 
for Gotland, and so on.  I'd think local programming would be even more 
important for the weather.

When I listen to RCI's rebroadcast of CBC programming in the morning, 
after the CBC news we always get to hear about 90 seconds of music/RCI 
promos which fill what the CBC national announcers mentions is the local 
news spot
