1584 kHz available in London area

After London stations Panjab Radio and Love Sport swapped MW frequencies on 1st August, Panjab Radio has gone overboard celebrating and advertising their new 558 kHz frequency and much stronger signal (e.g. there's 116 photos of inaugural ardass (prayers) for their new frequency on their Facebook page).

In contrast, Love Sport don't seem to mention their new MW frequency 1584 kHz on their website, Facebook or on air. The Love Sport logo also now just mentions DAB, Online and Mobile. And no mention of MW on their top of hour ID on 1584 at 1000 UTC this morning. So it was no surprise to see Spectrum Radio Network announcing the availability of 1584 kHz from August 2019 on their website:
