Don't you mean BBC Radio 4? (198kHz LW)

BBC Radio 1 is VHF FM only nowadays. (It used to be on 1053 and 1089kHz
MW until the early 1990s.)

The reason I was told (which might be wrong) that the Beeb stopped
doing Ogg Vorbis streams was that they lost the staff member involved
with that project. All rights had been cleared.
