===End of medium wave broadcasting -  1053 / 1089 kHz===
The Conservative government decided to increase competition on AM and disallowed the [[simulcasting]] of services on both AM and FM, affecting both BBC and [[Independent Local Radio]]. Radio 1's [[medium wave]] frequencies were reallocated to [[Independent National Radio]]. Radio 1's last broadcast on MW was on 1 July 1994, with [[Stephen Duffy]]'s "Kiss Me" being the last record played on MW just before 9{{nbsp}}am. For those who continued to listen, just after 9{{nbsp}}am, Radio 1 jingles were played in reverse chronological order ending with its first jingle from 30 September 1967. In the initial months after this closure, a pre-recorded message by [[Mark Goodier]] was played to advise listeners that Radio 1 was now an "FM-only" station and to retune to the FM frequency.<ref name="Radio 1 transmitter AM switchoff">{{cite web|url=http://www.radiorewind.co.uk/radio1/transmitter.htm|title=Radio 1 History – Transmitters|publisher=Radio Rewind|access-date=20 May 2014}}</ref> Around this time, Radio 1 began broadcasting on spare audio subcarriers on [[Sky Television (1984–1990)|Sky Television's]] via Astra's SES satellite analogue service; initially in mono (on [[Gold (UK TV channel)|UK Gold]]) and later in stereo (on [[Sky Living|UK Living]]) transponders. The 1053 / 1089 frequencies were allocated to the then newly created Talk Radio UK.
