	Shipping Forecast - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The reason for choosing BBC Radio 4 for the Shipping Forecast is not simply because it is a speech-based channel, but also because it broadcasts via longwave as well as FM, and the longwave signal can be received clearly at sea all around the British Isles.
		For this reason, until 1978 the Shipping Forecast was broadcast on the Light Programme and Radio 2, as they broadcast on longwave and the Home Service and Radio 4 were on medium wave.
		Part of the Shipping Forecast's charm is that it is read at dictation speed by Radio 4 continuity announcers, whose speaking voices have devoted fans.

		Fears that Radio 4 would break a long-standing tradition and move the shipping forecast from its early evening slot have been allayed after the RYA and Marine Safety Agency stepped into the fray.
		The BBC feels the full shipping forecast takes up too much time between its PM programme and the 1800 news broadcast, and had wanted to run it earlier in the afternoon or drop it altogether.
		A compromise has now been negotiated, and though the evening forecast will not be heard by FM listeners, it will be broadcast on LW in an abbreviated form, without the coastal station reports.

	Marine Forecast areas
		A further change is that French weather forecasts and warnings (bulletins au large); for areas to the south and west of the British Isles, now use the same area boundaries as the UK forecasts, but with French area names for Thames, Dover, Wight, Portland and Plymouth.
		One point worth emphasising here is that French and Spanish forecasts for Biscay should be more specific than the BBC Shipping Forecast or the UK NAVTEX since they divide the area into 3 parts.
		However, the BBC shipping forecast is still worth monitoring because it is written anew every 6 hours using all the latest data and the latest computer runs of the numerical weather prediction models.
