Somebody at #Wave105 still has access to the rebranded X account and isn’t happy - check out the reply from the same rebranded account to their own post 😂😂😂 @savewave105

@savewave105 Somewhat ironic that on the 60th anniversary of @theRadCaroline, the latterday #pirates @bauermedia close down @wave105radio and @PirateFM

@wave105radio that was a beautiful tribute but I can honestly say I feel a bit bereft now. I don't think @bauermedia understand just how much Wave was embedded in local life and will be deeply missed by many. @savewave105

Had bets at home on the last song to be played on @wave105radio - my money was on Leny Kravitz - It ain’t over till it’s over. How right I was - the very first song ever played on the station ❤️@savewave105

So sad to see @wave105radio come to an end. A juggernaut of a success with market-leading audience figures and proves that proper local radio still works when done well. They've always been the go-to local station in the Latto house. Best of luck @AndyJShier @stevepowerdj & all.

Some radio stations make a real connection with their area. They have a share and foster sense of community or place- Like Boom, Pirate And Wave. I'm really going to miss Wave in a way that I've not really missed a radio station before. And I'm not alone.

@bauermedia has destroyed commercial local radio in the UK.
Possibly breaking the rules a little today in the @BBCRadioSolent newsroom @stevepowerdj We’re thinking of you all @wave105radio on a very sad day for local radio in the South.

There is so little real choice on the dial now. Broadcast radio is already in a fragile position with on-demand streaming media to compete with. The unique draw it had was local presenters. It seems odd Bauer and Global would be so keen to destroy their business for short term £

@bauermedia the changes you are making to @wave105radio are awful. Half a million weekly listeners that you have upset. It'll be really interesting to see audience figures after the change. Most I've spoken to are switching off. If you couldn't fund it, you should have sold it!

Bauer Media should be forced to reinstate Wave 105 in its entirety or have its license revoked, then offered to another commercial operator with conditions attached such as local news, presenters, travel and a mixed bag of music. Andy

Sad day for everyone who listened & loved @wave105radio - the station that supplied the soundtrack to our lives for over 25 years. It wasn't just the great choice of music, but the personalities that were there, locally & knew their audience... Huge fail by @bauermedia – at Hythe, England

Oh no. When driving to Southampton to start a cruise, we’d always tune into Wave 105 as we approached the city. When Wave was on the radio we knew the cruise was almost ready to start

Arragant, uncaring decision. Yes, Rick is staying but the sheer incompetence of a business shelving a successful franchise is beyond comprehension! They should hang their heads in shame- no thought to those they rely on.

Hi Paul, Bauer should have its broadcasting licence revoked and that’s the truth of the matter. Some may think I am being cynical but it does make me suspicious that both Bauer and Ofcom have business ties! Otherwise the latter is a very soft touch.

Much has been said online regarding the demise of @wave105radio & #TeenageKicks I totally agree with the majority of comments and sentiment that’s been widely expressed. If ever there was a prime example of - “if it ain’t broke, then don’t fix it!”, surely this has to be it?!!!

THIS is what I meant when I wrote in my email to Martin Ball @bauermedia about community and how some people rely on Wave 105 to get them through the day or whatever they’re facing. @garystein and other decision makers should be ashamed. @wave105radio @savewave105
